[jira] Issue Comment Edited: (LUCENE-2649) FieldCache should include a BitSet for matching docs

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-2649?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12910568#action_12910568 ]

bq. Perhaps FieldCache.Parser was originally just too narrow in scope - it should have been a factory method for handling all decisions about creating and populating a field cache entry?
I guess we need to be able to manually configure FieldCache with some kind of FieldType. There have been several issues mentioning this and it keeps coming up again and again. I think it is just time to rethink Fieldable / Field and move towards some kind of flexible type definition for Fields in Lucene. A FieldType could then have a FieldCache Attribute which contains all necessary info including the parser and flags like the one we are talking about. Yet, before I get too excieted about FieldType, yeah something with a wider scope than FieldCache.Parser would work in this case. I don't know how far the FieldType is away but it can eventually replace whatever is going to be implemented here in regards to that flag. 

I think by default we should not enable the Bits feature but it must be explicitly set via whatever mechanism we gonna use.

> The FieldCache returns an array representing the values for each doc.  However there is no way to know if the doc actually has a value.
> This should be changed to return an object representing the values *and* a BitSet for all valid docs.
