Mark Miller updated LUCENE-831:
-------------------------------

    Attachment: fieldcache-overhaul.032208.diff

Patch roughly moves things forward.

I've added stuff for Long, Short, and Byte parsing, changed getAuto to a static 
cachkey method, switched core Lucene from using the FieldCache API to the new 
API, added some javadoc, and roughly have things going with the reopen method.

In short, still a lot to do, but this advances things enough so that you can 
apply it to trunk and check out the goodness that this can bring to sorting and 
reopen.

> Motivation:
> 1) Complete overhaul the API/implementation of "FieldCache" type things...
>     a) eliminate global static map keyed on IndexReader (thus
>         eliminating synch block between completley independent IndexReaders)
>     b) allow more customization of cache management (ie: use 
>         expiration/replacement strategies, disk backed caches, etc)
>     c) allow people to define custom cache data logic (ie: custom
>         parsers, complex datatypes, etc... anything tied to a reader)
>     d) allow people to inspect what's in a cache (list of CacheKeys) for
>         an IndexReader so a new IndexReader can be likewise warmed. 
>     e) Lend support for smarter cache management if/when
>         IndexReader.reopen is added (merging of cached data from subReaders).
> 2) Provide backwards compatibility to support existing FieldCache API with
>     the new implementation, so there is no redundent caching as client code
>     migrades to new API.
