Add NumericField and NumericSortField, make plain text numeric parsers public
in FieldCache, move trie parsers to FieldCache
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: LUCENE-1701
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-1701
Project: Lucene - Java
Issue Type: New Feature
Components: Index, Search
Affects Versions: 2.9
Reporter: Uwe Schindler
Assignee: Uwe Schindler
Fix For: 2.9
In discussions about LUCENE-1673, Mike & me wanted to add a new NumericField to
o.a.l.document specific for easy indexing. An alternative would be to add a
NumericUtils.newXxxField() factory, that creates a preconfigured Field instance
with norms and tf off, optionally a stored text (LUCENE-1699) and the
TokenStream already initialized. On the other hand NumericUtils.newXxxSortField
could be moved to NumericSortField.
I and Yonik tend to use the factory for both, Mike tends to create the new
classes.
Also the parsers for string-formatted numerics are not public in FieldCache. As
the new SortField API (LUCENE-1478) makes it possible to support a parser in
SortField instantiation, it would be good to have the static parsers in
FieldCache public available. SortField would init its member variable to them
(instead of NULL), so making code a lot easier (FieldComparator has this ugly
null checks when retrieving values from the cache).
Moving the Trie parsers also as static instances into FieldCache would make the
code cleaner and we would be able to hide the "hack" StopFillCacheException by
making it private to FieldCache (currently its public because NumericUtils is
in o.a.l.util).
