Issues
Faceting
When building an _exact field for faceting, the Haystack
build_solr_schema management command will create a string field with
the indexed attribute set to false. Faceting will not work unless
indexed is set to true e.g:
<field name="category_exact" type="string" indexed="true" stored="true" multiValued="false" />
Note: I think Jonathan S is having the same issue here: Faceting problem with Solr backend
Version
The current version of Haystack does not add a _version field to
schema.xml. You will see this error when running update_index:
Caused by: org.apache.solr.common.SolrException:
_version_field must exist in schema,
using indexed="true" stored="true" and multiValued="false"
(_version_ does not exist)
To solve the problem, add a _version_ field to the fields section of
schema.xml:
<fields>
<!-- other stuff... -->
<field name="_version_" type="long" indexed="true" stored ="true"/>
</fields>
