BloomFilterPostingsFormat is a little special compared to other
postings formats because it can wrap any postings format. So maybe it
should require special support, like an additional attribute in the
field type definition?

Instead of making other APIs to accomodate BloomFilter's current
brokenness: remove its custom per-field logic so it works with
PerFieldPostingsFormat, like every other PF.

In other words, it should work just like pulsing.

I brought this up before it was committed, and i was ignored. Thats
fine, but I'll be damned if i let its incorrect design complicate
other parts of the codebase too. I'd rather it continue to stay
difficult to integrate and continue walking its current path to an
open source death instead.

Robert,

I have to send you a general thank you for your dedication to the quality of this project, and for your amazing ability to seemingly keep the entire design for Lucene in your head at all times.

I'm not sure what exactly you want to die here, or what you think would be the best option for me, the Solr end-user. Is BloomFilter something that's not worth pursuing, or would you just like it to be integrated in a different way?

Thanks,
Shawn
