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.

> 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.
