Chris Male commented on LUCENE-2310: ------------------------------------ The challenge presented in this work is the pervasiveness of the Fieldable class. Its used in several hundred places through the source, but the majority are in tests, and in Document itself. Therefore part of this work will be also to move as many of the tests over to using Field, and working on the Document API as well. > Reduce Fieldable, AbstractField and Field complexity > ---------------------------------------------------- > > Key: LUCENE-2310 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-2310 > Project: Lucene - Java > Issue Type: Sub-task > Components: Index > Reporter: Chris Male > > In order to move field type like functionality into its own class, we really > need to try to tackle the hierarchy of Fieldable, AbstractField and Field. > Currently AbstractField depends on Field, and does not provide much more > functionality that storing fields, most of which are being moved over to > FieldType. Therefore it seems ideal to try to deprecate AbstractField (and > possible Fieldable), moving much of the functionality into Field and > FieldType. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: java-dev-unsubscr...@lucene.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: java-dev-h...@lucene.apache.org
