Shawn Heisey commented on SOLR-8396:
------------------------------------
I have checked into how IntField evolved, because there are similarities there
to what's being discussed here.
In 4.0.0, IntField was still an active type, and none of the Lucene classes it
used were deprecated either. IntField was not deprecated until 4.8 -- but the
main types in the collection1 example schema had been changed to the Trie types
a LONG time before that. I looked as far back as the 3.5.0 example and it was
already using Trie.
With this new information, I think what you guys have been trying to say (and I
wasn't catching) is that the Numeric types in Lucene are so fundamental that
they should NOT be renamed/deprecated until at least 7.0, then they can be
removed in 8.0 in accordance with normal deprecation policy.

> In LUCENE-6917, [~mikemccand] mentioned that DimensionalValues are better
> than NumericFields in most respects. We should explore the benefits of using
> it in Solr and hence, if appropriate, switch over to using them.
