Robert Muir commented on LUCENE-2308: ------------------------------------- bq. So you are thinking more along the lines indexNorms(true|false)? or whatever you come up with, that doesn't create double-negatives! but yeah, i think something like that is a little easier... no big deal just figured I would bring it up if this stuff was getting refactored anyway > Separately specify a field's type > --------------------------------- > > Key: LUCENE-2308 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-2308 > Project: Lucene - Java > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: Index > Reporter: Michael McCandless > > This came up from dicussions on IRC. I'm summarizing here... > Today when you make a Field to add to a document you can set things > index or not, stored or not, analyzed or not, details like omitTfAP, > omitNorms, index term vectors (separately controlling > offsets/positions), etc. > I think we should factor these out into a new class (FieldType?). > Then you could re-use this FieldType instance across multiple fields. > The Field instance would still hold the actual value. > We could then do per-field analyzers by adding a setAnalyzer on the > FieldType, instead of the separate PerFieldAnalzyerWrapper (likewise > for per-field codecs (with flex), where we now have > PerFieldCodecWrapper). > This would NOT be a schema! It's just refactoring what we already > specify today. EG it's not serialized into the index. > This has been discussed before, and I know Michael Busch opened a more > ambitious (I think?) issue. I think this is a good first baby step. We could > consider a hierarchy of FIeldType (NumericFieldType, etc.) but maybe hold > off on that for starters... -- 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
