NumericField throws a NotSerializableException when it is serialized, even 
though it implements Serializable

                 Key: LUCENE-2707
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-2707
             Project: Lucene - Java
          Issue Type: Bug
    Affects Versions: 3.0.2, 2.9.3
            Reporter: Marc Tinkler


NumericField extends from AbstractField, which implements Serializable.
 
NumericField cannot be serialized because it stores the precisionStep in the 
underlying NumericTokenStream, which is not serializable.  The 
NumericTokenStream should either be made serializable, or made transient in 
NumericField, and the precisionStep should be stored directly in NumericField, 
and recreated on deserialization.

Not entirely related, but the real reason I found this bug was because Field 
and NumericField are not cloneable and there is no way to make a copy manually, 
since there is no getter method for precisionStep on NumericField, so I thought 
I was going to be clever and do a "poor man's clone" by 
serializing/deserializing a NumericField.  No such luck.
