I think FieldType should take an Object input rather then String -- this gives FieldTypes the option of using (and reusing) explicit types in addition to String. For embedded apps that fill SolrInputDocuments with real objects, the fields can use objects directly -- this means that Date does not have to get converted to a String and then back to a Date.
This is a major API change, but I think the value is worth the trouble. Thoughts? ryan --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@lucene.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@lucene.apache.org
