Simon Willnauer updated LUCENE-4087:
------------------------------------
Attachment: LUCENE-4087.patch
here is a new patch adding documentation to DocValues.java & a reference to all
DV Fields. I added a bunch of tests including verification test that changing
norms types actually fails. I extended the type promoter a little to actually
promote INT_16 & INT_8 to Float32 if needed as well as INT_32 to FLOAT_64.
I think its ready

> Currently IW fails late and inconsistent if field metadata like an already
> defined DocValues type or "un"-omitting norms.
> we can approach this similar to how we handle consistent field number and:
>
> * throw exception if indexOptions conflict (e.g. omitTF=true versus
> false) instead of silently dropping positions on merge
> * same with omitNorms
> * same with norms types and docvalues types
> * still keeping field numbers consistent
> this way we could eliminate all these traps and just give an
> exception instead.
