Michael McCandless commented on LUCENE-4369:
--------------------------------------------
I think it's useful to have a dedicated sugar field for things like primary
keys, URLs, enumerated fields ("country", "state", "zip code"), entitlements
fields (ACLs), tags, etc., and when users do this directly today I suspect they
often forget to disable norms and index with docs-only.
But I agree the name is trappy now.
+1 for ExactTextField. I don't really like "raw": it sounds too ... low level.
Like it's not even gonna be indexed or something.

> There's a huge difference between TextField and StringField, StringField
> screws up scoring and bypasses your Analyzer.
> (see java-user thread "Custom Analyzer Not Called When Indexing" as an
> example.)
> The name we use here is vital, otherwise people will get bad results.
> I think we should rename StringField to MatchOnlyField.
