Yonik Seeley commented on SOLR-1131:
------------------------------------

bq. That's inherited from a more general mechanism that would allow multiple 
field types.

But multiple sub-field types would be used for different things, and should 
hence be separate parameters?  So if a field type indexed points separately and 
indexed a field that contains a list of cartesian tiers, I could see the params 
being

<fieldType ..., coordinateType="..."  cartesianTierType="..."/>
(or coordinateSuffix / cartesianTierSuffix)

> Allow a single field type 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)
