Michael McCandless commented on LUCENE-831:
-------------------------------------------
bq. E.g.: One have a CSF and a TrieField and several normal int/float fields.
For each of these fields he needs another ValueSource.
Couldn't we make a "PerFieldValueSource" impl to handle this? (And leave the
switching logic out of IndexReader).
I think another useful ValueSource would be one that first consults CSF and
uses that, if present, else falls back to the uninversion source.
bq. The sort code would get the type and the arrays from the underlying
IndexReaders.
I'm not sure this'll work -- IndexReader still won't know what type to ask for,
for a given field?
bq. are the functions query value sources then obsolete and can be merged with
the "new" ValueSource
Well, the API is a little different (this API returns int[], but the function
query's ValueSource has int intVal(int docID)), so I think we'd wrap the new
API to match function query's (ie, cut over function query's use of FieldCache
to this new FieldCache).

> Motivation:
> 1) Complete overhaul the API/implementation of "FieldCache" type things...
> a) eliminate global static map keyed on IndexReader (thus
> eliminating synch block between completley independent IndexReaders)
> b) allow more customization of cache management (ie: use
> expiration/replacement strategies, disk backed caches, etc)
> c) allow people to define custom cache data logic (ie: custom
> parsers, complex datatypes, etc... anything tied to a reader)
> d) allow people to inspect what's in a cache (list of CacheKeys) for
> an IndexReader so a new IndexReader can be likewise warmed.
> e) Lend support for smarter cache management if/when
> IndexReader.reopen is added (merging of cached data from subReaders).
> 2) Provide backwards compatibility to support existing FieldCache API with
> the new implementation, so there is no redundent caching as client code
> migrades to new API.
