Hello everyone,
Hope you guys are doing good.
I stuck into a problem, looking for some quick response.
I have a data set, where In my few records,a field name "date" is present
with values. but for few of my records, it does't have the date value(just
field name is present).
While indexing this data, I am getting parsing/formatting error while
indexing the date field with null values.
Looking for quiuck help.
Regards
Dharmendra
