??? I seriously question that long memory. Or perhaps just the color of the glasses you're viewing the world through. I fee like I helped develop NumericField (although Uwe was the primary author)! IIRC, I wrote the first draft of the code that enabled variable precision steps. https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-1470?focusedCommentId=12671495&page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel#comment-12671495 http://markmail.org/message/vcwwxwciwf7ztrfg And this is the JIRA issue to actually move it to core... all I remember is an honest technical opinion about if it should be baked into the index format (and certainly no vetoes or even opinions against it being in "core"): https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-1673 Luckily, I'm in good company... I'm not the only person to be accused of nefariously obstructing Lucene and only participating in Lucene issues to slow it down or make it harder to use. If one looks hard enough for something, they will start seeing it. -Yonik --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
