Hoss Man commented on SOLR-5084:
--------------------------------
bq. If you want to rename a label, thats fine, but you cant really change the
sort order without reindexing.
No, no .. of course not ... i wasn't suggestiong you could change the order,
just:
* *remove* a legal value from the list (w/o causing hte validation to complain)
* add new values to the end of the list
* (as you mentioned) modify the label on an existing value
See the example i posted before about removing "Medium" but keeping "High" &
"Critical" exactly as they are -- no change in indexed data, just a way to tell
the validation logic you were talking about adding "skip this value, i removed
it on purpose" (or i suppose: "skip this value, i'm reserving it as a
placeholder for future use")
> new field type - EnumField

> 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.
