Shai Erera commented on LUCENE-2310:
------------------------------------
I can't think of why one would want to know how many fields a Document has. But
even then, we can add a numFields() method to Document. The Iterable thingy
will just prevent a lot of unnecessayy work I think.
About remove(String fieldName), I don't see a case for that as well. A Document
is a point in time object - you parse a document, extract metadata, converts
the entire flow to a Lucene object (in this case Document) and passes it along
to IW. You then move on to the next document.
So I wouldn't know why would someone want to remove a field from a Document ...
but perhaps I just haven't run into the use case yet. Iterable btw will at
least alert the user if he did that, because a ConcurrentModificationException
will be thrown (if we're using a List-based iterator) ...

> 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.
