Shawn Heisey created SOLR-3953:
----------------------------------

             Summary: postingsFormat doesn't work on field, only on fieldType
                 Key: SOLR-3953
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-3953
             Project: Solr
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Schema and Analysis
    Affects Versions: 4.1
            Reporter: Shawn Heisey
            Priority: Minor
             Fix For: 4.1


The following schema config (adding postingsFormat) produces no changes in 
Solr's behavior.  If postingsFormat="BloomFilter" is instead added to a new 
fieldType and that fieldType is used, then Solr's behavior changes.  In my 
pre-deployment tests, it results in SOLR-3950.

<field name="did" type="long" indexed="true" stored="true" 
postingsFormat="BloomFilter"/>

Having to add a new fieldType for an alternate codec leads to configuration 
duplication and the potential for confusing problems.  I would imagine that 
most people that are interested in alternate codecs will want to continue using 
an existing type.
