Ahh OK thanks [~muralikpbhat]; that makes sense, so let's leave the assertion 
out.

> Today, we can write a custom Field using custom IndexFieldType, but when the 
> DefaultIndexingChain converts [IndexFieldType to 
> FieldInfo|https://github.com/apache/lucene-solr/blob/master/lucene/core/src/java/org/apache/lucene/index/DefaultIndexingChain.java#L662],
>  only few key informations such as indexing options and doc value type are 
> retained. The [Codec gets the 
> FieldInfo|https://github.com/apache/lucene-solr/blob/master/lucene/core/src/java/org/apache/lucene/codecs/DocValuesConsumer.java#L90],
>  but not the type details.
>   
>  FieldInfo has support for ['attributes'| 
> https://github.com/apache/lucene-solr/blob/master/lucene/core/src/java/org/apache/lucene/index/FieldInfo.java#L47]
>  and it would be great if we can add 'attributes' to IndexFieldType also and 
> copy it to FieldInfo's 'attribute'.
>   
>  This would allow someone to write a custom codec (extending docvalueformat 
> for example) for only the 'special field' that he wants and delegate the rest 
> of the fields to the default codec.
