Hoss Man commented on SOLR-5936:
--------------------------------
bq. +1 to rename for 5.0
What exactly do you suggest renaming these Solr FieldType's to?
If you are suggesting "TrieFooField -> FooField" then i am a _*HUGE*_ -1 to
that idea.
It's one thing to say that things like the (text based) IntField is deprecated,
and will not work in 5.0 and people have to reindex. but if we _also_ rename
TrieIntField to IntField, then people who are still using the (text based)
IntField in their schema.xml and attempt upgrading will get really weird, and
hard to understand errors.
If folks think Trie is a confusing word in the name and want to change that
then fine -- I'm certainly open to the idea -- But we really should not re-use
the name of an existing (deprecated/removed) field type in a way that isn't
backcompat.
----
In any event, a lot of what's being discussed here in comments feels like it
should really be tracked in discreet issues (these can all be dealt with
independnet of this issue, and eachother):
* better jdocs for the trie numeric fields
* renaming the trie numeric fields
* simplifying configuration of the trie numeric fields
...let's please keep this issue focused on the deprecation & removal of the
non-trie fields, and folks who care about these other idea can file other
jira's to track them
> Deprecate non-Trie-based numeric (and date) field types in 4.x and remove
> them from 5.0
