Chris Male updated LUCENE-2310: ------------------------------- Attachment: LUCENE-2310-Deprecate-AbstractField.patch Attaching first version of the patch which deprecates AbstractField. - Moves the properties and getters/setters down into Field. - Field now only implements Fieldable - Field now allows its value to be set to null through its construction. This allows subclasses to set the fieldData to their own - NumericField now extends Field, overridding the setValue methods as they are not supported - LazyField also now extends Field - AbstractField is now no longer used anywhere. > 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 > Attachments: LUCENE-2310-Deprecate-AbstractField.patch > > > 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
