improved per-field similarity integration into schema.xml
---------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: SOLR-2338
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-2338
             Project: Solr
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Schema and Analysis
    Affects Versions: 4.0
            Reporter: Robert Muir


Currently since LUCENE-2236, we can enable Similarity per-field, but in 
schema.xml there is only a 'global' factory
for the SimilarityProvider.

In my opinion this is too low-level because to customize Similarity on a 
per-field basis, you have to set your own
CustomSimilarityProvider with <similarity class=.../> and manage the per-field 
mapping yourself in java code.

Instead I think it would be better if you just specify the Similarity in the 
FieldType, like after <analyzer>.

As far as the example, one idea from LUCENE-1360 was to make a "short_text" or 
"metadata_text" used by the
various metadata fields in the example that has better norm quantization for 
its shortness...
