Yonik Seeley commented on SOLR-1079:
------------------------------------
We need to get the latest lucene libs and adjust our code, but I'd vote for
keeping our schema flag as "omitTf" for the following reasons:
- omitTermFreqAndPositions is looong
- it's not comprehensive anyway - omitTermFreqAndPositionsAndPayloads? ;-P
- and still... some people may not realize that phrase queries need positions,
or that things that don't look like phrase queries may get turned into phrase
queries (foo-bar and WDF for example).
- most Solr users don't *need* to know what it does... we default non-text
fields to use omitTf... text fields should always default to that.
- almost no one will have pre-conceived notions about what "omitTf" will do
anyway... they will need to look at the description. Hence this is really only
a documentation problem, not a naming problem.
On the other side of the coin.... if we do the correct defaults (which I
believe we do) then omitTermFreqAndPositions would rarely appear in anyone's
schema anyway. Only the most advanced user would choose to change the defaults
and for them a consistency with lucene naming may be desired?
After all that, I guess I should have argued against Lucene renaming omitTf...
and at this point Solr should probably just follow suit?
