Robert Muir commented on LUCENE-4369: ------------------------------------- ok just a few downsides of 'whole': * it seems similar to full, like full-text field. but StringField is not that. * then what is TextField, only partial? Guys i realistically dont think we are going to come up with a perfect name here that everyone likes. But I think enough people agree that StringField is bad. I seriously propose ASDFGHIJField in the interim, we gotta make some incremental progress. > StringFields name is unintuitive and not helpful > ------------------------------------------------ > > Key: LUCENE-4369 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-4369 > Project: Lucene - Core > Issue Type: Bug > Reporter: Robert Muir > Attachments: LUCENE-4369.patch > > > There's a huge difference between TextField and StringField, StringField > screws up scoring and bypasses your Analyzer. > (see java-user thread "Custom Analyzer Not Called When Indexing" as an > example.) > The name we use here is vital, otherwise people will get bad results. > I think we should rename StringField to MatchOnlyField. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
