Uwe Schindler commented on LUCENE-3219:
---------------------------------------
At the end of the day, I am sure I will vote to leave it as it is in 3.x!
SortField is heavy-used in Lucene client code and the backwards breaks without
very sophisticated backwards layers are horrible to handle. It can be done, but
I dont think its worth the work just for code beauty.

> When updating my SOLR-2533 patch, one issue was that the int value I had
> given my new type had been used by another change in the mean time. Since we
> don't use these fields in a bitset kind of way, we can convert them to an
> enum.
