Reindex Changes

POR-554 ELO Reindex Stability Improvement

In Combination with ‘POR-562 Remove fieldTypeDefinition', we improved the stability of reindexing.

• We changed to only using automatic field types for the index

  • keyword is used as datatype for value

  • numerical values are automatically transformed to double or long

  • date values are automatically transformed into date

• we do not default dates to 1970-01-01 anymore if empty instead, they will be not indexed at all

• we do not index attributes if their value is null or ‘null’

• for ELO sources: german date fields ([0-9]{2}\\.[0-9]{2}\\.[0-9]{4})are now correctly indexed

These changes should reduce the chance that a source can’t be reindexed anymore due to a mismatch in the datatype.

YML Config Changes

POR-562 Remove fieldTypeDefinition

We removed the fieldTypeDefition in the sources config to improve reindex stability. See POR-554
