Robert Muir commented on LUCENE-2308: ------------------------------------- {quote} If you disable term freq, you also have to disable positions. The "freq" tells you how many positions there are. {quote} Marvin: as stated, we would have to actually implement this. There's an issue open for it too: LUCENE-2048. I was just discussing this with someone the other day. {quote} I think it's asking an awful lot of our users to require that they understand all the implications of posting format modifications when committers have difficulty mastering all the subtleties. {quote} I don't know what I did to piss you off, but I just thought it would be nice for completeness, to mention that this feature is still open and its something we should think about. > 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
