Robert Muir commented on LUCENE-4126:
-------------------------------------
Also i think today, anyone that wants to do things the way you describe can
just create the FieldType from scratch already?
they can do this and set everything from scratch, add the field twice, whatever
they want :)
But if we remove the ability to do simpler things like 'i want a TextField with
term vectors enabled' or 'I want a StringField with index-time boosts', then I
think thats a big loss to less advanced users, with no gain to the experts who
can already do things from scratch anyway if they prefer to do that.

> Project: Lucene - Java
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Reporter: Chris Male
> Fix For: 4.0, 5.0

>
> Currently FieldTypes can be created using new FieldType(someOtherFieldType)
> which copies the properties and allows them to then changed. This reduces
> readability since it hides what properties someOtherFieldType has enabled.
> We should encourage users (and ourselves) to explicitly state what properties
> are enabled so to prevent any surprises.
