Uwe Schindler updated LUCENE-1701:
----------------------------------
Attachment: LUCENE-1701.patch
Patch with all changes, including LUCENE-1687 (it is easier to do this
together):
- Add NumericField, change JavaDocs to prefer this where possible.
- Change range tests to use NumericField during build of test index, this also
tests stored fields with NumericField (much cleaner now)
- Remove SortField factory from NumericUtils, this class is now almost only for
expert users; creating a SortField is possible with SortField ctor using parser
instance.
- Make all parsers in FieldCache public (DEFAULT_XXX_PARSER)
- Add trie parsers to FieldCache, too (NUMERIC_UTILS_XXX_PARSER)
- Hide StopFillCacheException-hack
- Change SortField to automatically initialize the correct parser according to
the type (defaults to text-only parsers) -- there is still some good javadocs
missing to tell the user, that it is better to use SortField(String, Parser)
instead of SortField(String, type-int) for numeric values, especially when
indexed using NumericField.
- Because SortField is serializable, all parsers were made singletons and
serializable, too (superinterface Parser extends Serializable, default parsers
define readResolve() to enforce singletons, which are important for FieldCache
to work correctly)
- Remove now unneeded (parser==null) checks in sorting code, as SortField
enforces a non-null parser now.
- Remove all code from ExtendedFieldCache and move to FieldCache (see
LUCENE-1687), keep a stub for binary backwards-compatibility. The only
implementation is now FieldCacheImpl referred to by DEFAULT (and EXT_DEFAULT
for bw).
A short note: SortField is only serializable, if all custom comparators used
are also serializable, maybe we should also note this in the docs. Parsers are
automatically serializable (because superinterface), but not automatically real
singletons (but this is not Lucenes problem).

> In discussions about LUCENE-1673, Mike & me wanted to add a new NumericField
> to o.a.l.document specific for easy indexing. An alternative would be to add
> a NumericUtils.newXxxField() factory, that creates a preconfigured Field
> instance with norms and tf off, optionally a stored text (LUCENE-1699) and
> the TokenStream already initialized. On the other hand
> NumericUtils.newXxxSortField could be moved to NumericSortField.
> I and Yonik tend to use the factory for both, Mike tends to create the new
> classes.
> Also the parsers for string-formatted numerics are not public in FieldCache.
> As the new SortField API (LUCENE-1478) makes it possible to support a parser
> in SortField instantiation, it would be good to have the static parsers in
> FieldCache public available. SortField would init its member variable to them
> (instead of NULL), so making code a lot easier (FieldComparator has this ugly
> null checks when retrieving values from the cache).
> Moving the Trie parsers also as static instances into FieldCache would make
> the code cleaner and we would be able to hide the "hack"
> StopFillCacheException by making it private to FieldCache (currently its
> public because NumericUtils is in o.a.l.util).
