[jira] [Issue Comment Edited] (LUCENE-3792) Remove StringField

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-3792?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13209256#comment-13209256 ]

The backside of this is now, that you need to explicitely use a KeywordAnalyzer now for Primary Key fields. If you don't run those through a query analyzer (e.g. generally produce TermQuery directly) then you have lots of additional work. For simple "lookup" queries and indexing a PK key, this is a no go.

-1 on removing that completely, it should simply called different. We should maybe add PKQuery (a ConstantScore TermQuery) and PKField to have a symmetry.

> Often on the mailing list there is confusion about NOT_ANALYZED.
> Besides being useless (Just use KeywordAnalyzer instead), people trip up on this
> not being consistent at query time (you really need to configure KeywordAnalyzer for the field 
> on your PerFieldAnalyzerWrapper so it will do the same thing at query time... oh wait
> once you've done that, you dont need NOT_ANALYZED).
> So I think StringField is a trap too for the same reasons, just under a 
> different name, lets remove it.
