Lucene document conventions
===========================


Status
------

2026-02-26: Draft
2026-02-26: Accepted
2026-03-04: Updated



Context
-------

Since Lucene documents are flexible, some conventions must be adopted.



Decision
--------

- timestamps in yyyyMMddHHmmssSSSSSSSSS, UTC
    - makes query more human readable than unix timestamp.
    - ISO 8601 doesnt work since each block of digits are split in terms (separators are stripped)
