Per https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-1349, we have made an exception to Lucene's backward compatibility rules and marked Fieldable as "changeable", namely meaning we will allow, on a case-by- case basis, changes to the interface, meaning anyone who implements there own Fieldable (which we suspect is very, very few people) may have to make code changes when upgrading within a minor version. More than likely, Fieldable will be deprecated and changed for 3.0 (when we get there.)

This is noted prominently in CHANGES.txt and on the interface. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Thanks,
Grant
