Yonik Seeley commented on SOLR-398:
-----------------------------------
{quote}This will break back-compatibility, right?{quote}
Unfortunately, yes. That's why I only changed methods that accepted a Field,
but couldn't change return types because of potential code like: Field f =
ft.createField()
{quote}Better to deprecate and add a new method?{quote}
Probably, if creation of fields might be done in custom request handlers.
> Widen return type of FiledType.createField to Fieldable in order to maximize
> flexibility
