With the new processing (no AMQ) it seems that internally Json/BON is used and as a consequence date values are converted (due to json parser) and hence aren't available as dates in workers/pipelets. this is somewhat a deal breaker that rely on date objects being passed in, such es for instance the new solr integration. depending on how fast this gets fixed we might need a workaround for the solr here, where we define the date fields in the pipelet config... see http://dev.eclipse.org/mhonarc/lists/smila-user/msg00145.html
Yes indeed, since there is no standard way of describing dates in JSON we have to come up with our own solution. I've just started the discussion in our mailing list and after an agreement we will implement it after release 0.9. I am also reducing the severity of this issue to "normal" since there are valid workarounds that can be easily implemented.
We changed the implementation to parse JSON/BON strings to date/datetime values if they have the correct format. For details see http://wiki.eclipse.org/SMILA/Documentation/Data_Model_and_Serialization_Formats .
Implementation finished, no problems reported, so I close this one (;
