------------------------------------------
Summary: Add BinaryField, to index a single binary token
Key: LUCENE-5989
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-5989
Project: Lucene - Core
Issue Type: Improvement
Reporter: Michael McCandless
Assignee: Michael McCandless
Fix For: 5.0, Trunk
5 years ago (LUCENE-1458) we "enabled" fully binary terms in the
lowest levels of Lucene (the codec APIs) yet today, actually adding an
arbitrary byte[] binary term during indexing is far from simple: you
must make a custom Field with a custom TokenStream and a custom
TermToBytesRefAttribute, as far as I know.
This is supremely expert, I wonder if anyone out there has succeeded
in doing so?
I think we should make indexing a single byte[] as simple as indexing
a single String.
This is a pre-cursor for issues like LUCENE-5596 (encoding IPv6
address as byte[16]) and LUCENE-5879 (encoding native numeric values
in their simple binary form).
