In this specific instance, I would like to be able to use LUCENE-4069, but
my question is more general than that -- will it be possible to take the

details on a per-field basis?

Maybe you are confused... you can already do this (for over a year).
See the tests.

Keep in mind that customizing the index format in this way is expert,
e.g. we don't provide index backwards compatibility for it across
releases, etc etc.

I have never used trunk/4x, only Solr 1.4.1 and 3.x, and my only exposure to test internals has been adapting existing tests for SOLR-2906 and SOLR-3393. Now that branch_4x has been created, things will begin to stabilize. When my schedule clears up a bit, I will do testing with the new branch. I am looking forward to the new version and understanding all the improvements.

I'm not terribly worried about backwards compatibility. Because of the javabin version change in 3.1, I abandoned replication in favor of two independent indexes that are both kept up to date. Now I can upgrade and rebuild one index without affecting the other.

Thanks,
Shawn
