It looks like it does not allow hyphen. I get a similar exception if I use hyphen. </p> http://www.datastax.com/support-forums/topic/solr-index#post-8313 Mon, 07 Jan 2013 16:37:27 +0000 Jack Krupansky 8313@http://www.datastax.com/support-forums/ <p>Sorry, but you can't have a colon or space or slash or most other special characters in your field names. Letters, digits, hyphen, and underscore are the only safe characters. </p> http://www.datastax.com/support-forums/topic/solr-index#post-8311 Mon, 07 Jan 2013 15:16:20 +0000 p2krish 8311@http://www.datastax.com/support-forums/ <p>I'm running dse-cassandra in solr mode.
