Erick Erickson commented on SOLR-5084:
--------------------------------------

OK, looks good. On my Mac, I get two failures, but I also get those same failures in trunk without the patch.


So unless someone objects, I'll commit this over the weekend.

> We have encountered a use case in our system where we have a few fields (Severity. Risk etc) with a closed set of values, where the sort order for these values is pre-determined but not lexicographic (Critical is higher than High). Generically this is very close to how enums work.
> To implement, I have prototyped a new type of field: EnumField where the inputs are a closed predefined  set of strings in a special configuration file (similar to currency.xml).
> The code is based on 4.2.1.
