Chris Male updated LUCENE-3499:
-------------------------------
Description: Current Field supports Reader, String and binary values. With
work on removing IndexDocValuesField, it became apparent it'd be a lot cleaner
if the support for binary values was moved to BinaryField (like how
NumericField supports Numbers). This would leave Field as supporting the most
common usecases (Reader and String values) as well as serving as a base class
for the other Field implementations in document.*. This will also prove useful
when we add support for indexing binary values. (was: Current Field supports
