Is it possible to include special characters in a field name with Solr in schemaless mode?

I want my dynamic field names to be able to include hash characters. Is this possible when Solr is in schemaless mode?

Solution

  • Found it. In the file solrconfig.xml I changed the following block of code

    <processor class="solr.FieldNameMutatingUpdateProcessorFactory">
    <str name="pattern">[^\w-\.]</str>
    <str name="replacement">_</str>
 </processor>

    to

    <processor class="solr.FieldNameMutatingUpdateProcessorFactory">
    <str name="pattern">[^\w-\.\#]</str>
   <str name="replacement">_</str>
 </processor>
