             Summary: new field type - EnumField
                 Key: SOLR-5084
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-5084
             Project: Solr
          Issue Type: New Feature
            Reporter: Elran Dvir


We have encountered a use case in our system where we have a few fields 
(Severity. Risk etc) with a closed set of values, where the sort order for 
these values is pre-determined but not lexicographic (Critical is higher than 
High). Generically this is very close to how enums work.

To implement, I have prototyped a new type of field: EnumField where the inputs 
are a closed predefined  set of strings in a special configuration file 
(similar to currency.xml).

The code is based on 4.2.1.
