Adrien Grand commented on LUCENE-7734: -------------------------------------- True, but this change is API compatible, so if something compiles today, it will still compile with your patch. I think the only thing it breaks is ABI compatibility so it would not be possible eg. to replace the Lucene JAR without recompiling. But this is not something we guarantee anyway, I don't think we should add an additional constructor on 6.x. > FieldType copy constructor should accept IndexableFieldType > ----------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: LUCENE-7734 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-7734 > Project: Lucene - Core > Issue Type: Improvement > Reporter: David Smiley > Assignee: David Smiley > Priority: Minor > Attachments: LUCENE_7734.patch > > > {{FieldType}} is a concrete implementation of {{IndexableFieldType}}.
