Noble Paul commented on SOLR-1131:
----------------------------------
Is this a good idea? This creates an extra Object (Field[]) for every Field .
For a corner case we are introducing an overhead to all the field types.
Why don't we add a new interface MutlValuedFieldType which extends FieldType
for this
> Allow a single field to index multiple fields

> In a few special cases, it makes sense for a single "field" (the concept) to
> be indexed as a set of Fields (lucene Field). Consider SOLR-773. The
> concept "point" may be best indexed in a variety of ways:
> * geohash (sincle lucene field)
> * lat field, lon field (two double fields)
> * cartesian tiers (a series of fields with tokens to say if it exists within
> that region)
