: The default should be 0 to keep being backwards compatible. Then just : provide a means to change that setting. So for my code I just could add: : setInitialValue(Float.NEGATIVE_INFINITY); for example. : Being the INITIAL_VALUE thingy set initially to 0. That would be backwards : compatible.
It would be backwards compatible -- but it wouldn't be generally reusable, it would be impossible to have different initial values for multiple fields (let alone for multiple fields in multiple indexes in teh same JVM) : > one (kludgy) possibility would be to use a single call to : > FloatParser.parseFloat(null) to determine what value to use -- if it : The parser is not used in those cases that there is no field. My first : approach on all this, before looking at the code, was to create a new yes, i realize that ... i'm suggestion that adding a call to FloatParser.parseFloat(null) in the FieldCacheImpl when it is initially building up the float[] would be one potential way to dealing with this in a backwards compatible way. -Hoss --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
