Yonik Seeley commented on LUCENE-1687: -------------------------------------- As previously noted, FieldCache.DEFAULT is final because FieldCache is an interface, so no one could have had a different implementation they were using with Lucene, hence it would not have broken back compat in a meaningful way to add some new methods. > Remove ExtendedFieldCache by rolling functionality into FieldCache > ------------------------------------------------------------------ > > Key: LUCENE-1687 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-1687 > Project: Lucene - Java > Issue Type: Improvement > Reporter: Grant Ingersoll > Assignee: Grant Ingersoll > Priority: Minor > Fix For: 2.9 > > > It is silly that we have ExtendedFieldCache. It is a workaround to our > supposed back compatibility problem. This patch will merge the > ExtendedFieldCache interface into FieldCache, thereby breaking back > compatibility, but creating a much simpler API for FieldCache. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: java-dev-unsubscr...@lucene.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: java-dev-h...@lucene.apache.org
