Shai Erera commented on LUCENE-2310: ------------------------------------ Right Earwin - agreed. I'd like to summarize a brief discussion we had on IRC around that: The idea is not to provide another interface/class for search purposes, but rather expose the right API from IndexReader, even if it might be a bit low-level. API like getIndexedFields(docId) and getStorefFields(docId), both optionally take a FieldSelector, should allow the application to re-construct its Indexable however it wants. And IR/IS don't need to know anything about that. To complete the picture for current users, we can have a static reconstruct() on Document which takes IR, docId and FieldSelector ... BTW, I'm not even sure getIndedxedFields can be efficiently supported today. Just listing it here for completeness. > Reduce Fieldable, AbstractField and Field complexity > ---------------------------------------------------- > > Key: LUCENE-2310 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-2310 > Project: Lucene - Java > Issue Type: Sub-task > Components: Index > Reporter: Chris Male > Attachments: LUCENE-2310-Deprecate-AbstractField-CleanField.patch, > LUCENE-2310-Deprecate-AbstractField.patch, > LUCENE-2310-Deprecate-AbstractField.patch, > LUCENE-2310-Deprecate-AbstractField.patch, > LUCENE-2310-Deprecate-DocumentGetFields-core.patch, > LUCENE-2310-Deprecate-DocumentGetFields.patch, > LUCENE-2310-Deprecate-DocumentGetFields.patch > > > In order to move field type like functionality into its own class, we really > need to try to tackle the hierarchy of Fieldable, AbstractField and Field. > Currently AbstractField depends on Field, and does not provide much more > functionality that storing fields, most of which are being moved over to > FieldType.
