David Smiley created LUCENE-7500:
------------------------------------
Summary: Nuke Fields.java in lieu of LeafReader.getTerms(fieldName)
Key: LUCENE-7500
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-7500
Project: Lucene - Core
Issue Type: Improvement
Reporter: David Smiley
Fix For: master (7.0)
{{Fields}} seems like a pointless intermediary between the {{LeafReader}} and
{{Terms}}. Why not have {{LeafReader.getTerms(fieldName)}} instead? One loses
the ability to get the count and iterate over indexed fields, but it's not
clear what real use-cases are for that and such rare needs could figure that
out with FieldInfos.
[~mikemccand] pointed out that we'd probably need to re-introduce a
{{TermVectors}} class since TV's are row-oriented not column-oriented. IMO
they should be column-oriented but that'd be a separate issue.
_(p.s. I'm lacking time to do this w/i the next couple months so if someone
else wants to tackle it then great)_
