             Summary: PostingsHighlighter should pass field name to PassageFormatter.format?
                 Key: LUCENE-4860
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-4860
             Project: Lucene - Core
          Issue Type: Improvement
            Reporter: Michael McCandless
            Assignee: Michael McCandless
             Fix For: 5.0, 4.3


If the app needs to render different fields (eg multi-valued vs single-valued) differently it's tricky now.

You can do Passage[0].getMatchTerms()[0].field(), but then that doesn't work if that field hit the empty highlight.

I think we should pass the fieldName to format directly?  And then maybe change getMatchTerms() to return BytesRef[] instead (the field name is redundant: they are all the same for all passages passed to format).
