Mark Miller commented on LUCENE-831:
------------------------------------

bq. It worked until now without serialization and so I think we should remove 
serialization from SortField. 

I don't think we can right now because of remote searchable - I think?. I agree 
the factories are silly, but now I know why they exist! It had eluded me before.

I can roll your patch in Uwe - sorry I missed it with that last one - I had 
meant to, but it slipped my mind.

I've been waiting to pin down how ValueSource handles its cache (either 
lightning will strike my mind, or more likely, Mike will tell me what to do) - 
but the main reason for the factory at the moment is to get the remote tests to 
pass - since SortField is serializable, it allows us to pass the ValueSource 
without it being seriazable.

> 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.
