Robert Muir commented on LUCENE-8342:
-------------------------------------
+1: it would be a big improvement to validate this in IW, merge, checkindex,
etc.
> Can we enforce more properties on fields like uniquness

> Key: LUCENE-8342
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-8342
> Project: Lucene - Core
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Affects Versions: master (8.0)
> Reporter: Simon Willnauer
> Priority: Major
>
> This is a spin-off from LUCENE-8335 where we discuss adding a boolean to
> FieldInfo to check if the field is used for soft deletes. This has been a a
> very delicate line we drew in the past but if we take a step back and think
> about how we'd design a feature like IW#updateDocument(Term, Document) today
> would we allow passing different fields to this API? It's just one example
> ie. storing floats and ints in the same DV field is a different one. I
> personally think it would be a good idea to be more strict on that end and I
> wonder what others think.
