Hi guys,
I saw in SOLR they have a special field for currency fields (see:
[https://wiki.apache.org/solr/CurrencyField](https://wiki.apache.org/solr/CurrencyField)).
So in brief, all you need to do is export Strings in the form of
"12.21,USD" or "34.44,EUR" where the first part is the value and the second
is the currency ISO code.
Then SOLR can be configured to convert your values to the desired currency
(it has an xml mapping with the conversion rates, or it can use online
service).
It seems quite handy, because I can request a given field in any currency,
and i don't have to implement the conversion myself.
My question is: do you plan to implement a similar feature?
Thanks 🙂
