java - Hibernate Search MultiFieldQueryParser with a Date property -

i upgraded hibernate search 4.4 5.3 , sucessfully migrated issues in hibernate search migration guides, i'm encountering following error regarding date property when using multifieldqueryparser.

org.hibernate.search.exception.searchexception: hsearch000233: specified query '+(datefield:value)' contains string based sub query targets numeric encoded field(s) 'mydate'. check query or try limiting targeted entities. 

my date property pretty standard

@column(name = "my_date") @temporal(temporaltype.timestamp) @field @datebridge(resolution = org.hibernate.search.annotations.resolution.day) private date mydate; 

versions

• hibernate 4.3
• hibernate search 5.3
• had explicitly import (maven) org.apache.lucene.lucene-queryparser (4.10.4) org.apache.lucene.queryparser.classic.multifieldqueryparser, otherwise wouldn't find it

also found issue (hsearch-1870) regarding date values, not sure if related.

am missing on mydate declaration?

edit: missed 1 migration requirement - see answer bellow.

as turns out missed 1 migration requirement: enconding set numeric in hs 5 default.

• numeric field(s) being used default
• numbers , dates indexed numeric field default

setting encoding mimic behavior in previous versions fixed it.

@column(name = "my_date") @temporal(temporaltype.timestamp) @field @datebridge(resolution = org.hibernate.search.annotations.resolution.day, encoding = encodingtype.string) private date mydate;
