Function for returning a CurrencyField as a virtual field
---------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: SOLR-3239
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-3239
             Project: Solr
          Issue Type: New Feature
            Reporter: Jan H=C3=B8ydahl
             Fix For: 4.0


With the new CurrencyField from SOLR-2202, we can now do range queries, sor=
t and soon faceting on CurrencyField.

One thing we cannot do is return a converted value. We can only return the =
stored value which must be in the same currency as it was entered, e.g. "10=
.0,USD". People now have to do this conversion in application layer, readin=
g the same currency.xml file as in Solr. This is a mess to keep in sync, an=
d is hard to support with other ExchangeRateProviders or in other client la=
nguages than Java.

This patch should implement a Function which takes a field name and request=
ed currency as input and returns the converted value. Optionally it could a=
lso take care of localized display, e.g. "$10.0" instead of "10.0,USD". Pro=
posed syntax:

{code}
&fl=3Dtitle,price:currency(price_c,EUR)         # Returns price_c in EUR as=
 "price"
&fl=3Dtitle,price:currency(price_c,EUR,en_US)   # Returns price_c in EUR, f=
ormatted according to en_US locale
{code}
