Jason Rutherglen commented on LUCENE-831:
-----------------------------------------
M. McCandless:
"This is an interesting idea. Say we create IntField, a subclass of
Field. It could directly accept a single int value and not accept
tokenization options. It could assert "not null", if the field wanted
that. FieldInfo could store that it's an int and expose more stronly
typed APIs from IndexReader.document as well. If in the future we
enable Term to be things-other-than-String, we could do the right
thing with typed fields. Etc...."
+1 For 3.0 this will be of great benefit in the effort to remove the excessive
string creation
that happens right now with Lucene. Term should also be more generic such that
it
can also accept primitive or user defined types (and index format encodings).

> 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.
