Erick Erickson commented on SOLR-5084:
--------------------------------------
Yeah, if you would Actually, 4x (eventually 4.5) would be
better, and against trunk would be even best. Uf/when we
apply it we'll merge it into the 4x branch.
But also take a look at Robert's latest comments, he's one
of the deep-level Lucene knowledge.

> 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.
