--------------------------------------------
Thanks Robert, I committed first part... I'll leave this open to work on
DocValuesField next.
> trapping overloaded ctors/setters in Field/NumericField/DocValuesField
> ----------------------------------------------------------------------

> Key: LUCENE-3777
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-3777
> Project: Lucene - Java
> Issue Type: Bug
> Affects Versions: 4.0
> Reporter: Robert Muir
> Assignee: Michael McCandless
> Priority: Blocker
> Attachments: LUCENE-3777.patch
>
>
> In trunk, these apis let you easily create a field, but my concern is this:
> {code}
> public NumericField(String name, int value)
> public NumericField(String name, long value)
> ..
> public Field(String name, int value, FieldType type)
> public Field(String name, long value, FieldType type)
> ..
> public void setValue(int value)
> public void setValue(long value)
> ..
> public DocValuesField(String name, int value, DocValues.Type docValueType)
> public DocValuesField(String name, long value, DocValues.Type docValueType)
> {code}
> I really don't like overloaded ctors/setters where the compiler can
> type-promote you,
> I think it makes the apis hard to use.
> Instead for the setters I think we sohuld have setIntValue, setLongValue, ...
> For the ctors, I see two other options:
> # factories like DocValuesField.newIntField()
> # subclasses like IntField
> I don't have any patch for this, but I think we should discuss and fix before
> these apis are released.
