Grant Ingersoll commented on SOLR-1131:
---------------------------------------
bq. minor nit: why is "subFieldTypes" plural? We're only specifying a single
type, right?
That's inherited from a more general mechanism that would allow multiple field
types. So, the PointType only allows one, but other implementations may allow
more.
bq. Given the concerns of some people around automatically registering a
dynamic field, perhaps we should optionally allow a subFieldSuffix to be passed
instead of subFieldTypes.
That's fine by me. Given my workload, I will try to do this and commit on
Thursday of this week, unless someone wants to take it before then.

> In a few special cases, it makes sense for a single "field" (the concept) to
> be indexed as a set of Fields (lucene Field). Consider SOLR-773. The
> concept "point" may be best indexed in a variety of ways:
> * geohash (sincle lucene field)
> * lat field, lon field (two double fields)
> * cartesian tiers (a series of fields with tokens to say if it exists within
> that region)
