Nicolas Lalevée commented on LUCENE-778:
----------------------------------------

Just after committing the jira issue, I just figured out that I haven't 
searched for topics about it. Sorry.
BTW, thanks for the pointers.

But what my request here is not making Lucene providing customized documents, 
like in LUCENE-662, it is about allowing passing to writer.addDocument() a 
document that is extending Document, nothing more.

For instance, I would like to do something like that :

public RDFDocument extends Document {
  public RDFDocument(String uri) {
    add(new Field("uri", uri); 
  }
  
  public void addStatement(String prop, String value) {
    add(new Field(prop, value));
  }
}

Should we move this discussion to lucene-dev ?

> In our application, we have some kind of generic API that is handling how we 
> are using Lucene. The different other applications are using this API with 
> different semantics, and are using the Lucene fields quite differently. We 
> wrote some usefull functions to do this mapping. Today, as the Document class 
> cannot be overriden, we are obliged to make a document wrapper by 
> application, ie some MyAppDocument and MyOtherAppDocument which have a 
> property holding a real Lucene Document. Then, when MyApp or MyOtherApp want 
> to use our generic lucene API, we have to "get out" the Lucene document, ie 
> do some genericLuceneAPI.writeDoc(myAppDoc.getLuceneDocument()). This work 
> fine, but it becomes quite tricky to use the other function of our generic 
> API which is genericLuceneAPI.writeDocs(Collection<Document> docs).
> I don't know the rational behind making final Document, but removing it will 
> allow more object-oriented code.
