Simon Willnauer commented on LUCENE-2310: ----------------------------------------- bq. I don't really understand what you're suggesting here. In 3x where the deprecations will be occurring Field has to continue to extend AbstractField. Yes in 4.0 we can drop that extension but addressing the deprecations is not in the scope of 3x. What I mean here is that if I would simply remove the extends AbstractField from Field would it still compile or are there any dependencies from AbstractField? IMO AbstractField should just be empty now right? > Reduce Fieldable, AbstractField and Field complexity > ---------------------------------------------------- > > Key: LUCENE-2310 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-2310 > Project: Lucene - Java > Issue Type: Sub-task > Components: Index > Reporter: Chris Male > Attachments: LUCENE-2310-Deprecate-AbstractField-CleanField.patch, > LUCENE-2310-Deprecate-AbstractField.patch, > LUCENE-2310-Deprecate-AbstractField.patch, > LUCENE-2310-Deprecate-AbstractField.patch, > LUCENE-2310-Deprecate-DocumentGetFields-core.patch, > LUCENE-2310-Deprecate-DocumentGetFields.patch, > LUCENE-2310-Deprecate-DocumentGetFields.patch, LUCENE-2310.patch > > > In order to move field type like functionality into its own class, we really > need to try to tackle the hierarchy of Fieldable, AbstractField and Field. > Currently AbstractField depends on Field, and does not provide much more > functionality that storing fields, most of which are being moved over to > FieldType.
