Hi Joris,
Just some guesses and no actual answer from me here:
The deprecation of the index type was before HASH indexes were created, and
my guess was due to the introduction of the "new at the time" query service
apis (the javadoc:@deprecated As of 6.6.1. Check {@link QueryService} for
changes.)
The internals still use the IndexType as you have pointed out and maybe the
deprecation was more intended for the end user (since it's not an internal
type) and perhaps it was intended to have been moved internal at some
point?
There is some weirdness with the index types and actually having multiple
implementations for the Functional type. Under the covers we create a
memory-optimized version based on the indexed expression.
Things have changed since deprecation, so maybe it should be
un/de-deprecated or an alternative solution can probably be thought up...
