["Nikola Tankovic (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

Type safety in Field.setValue() methods
---------------------------------------

                 Key: LUCENE-3300
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-3300
             Project: Lucene - Java
          Issue Type: Improvement
            Reporter: Nikola Tankovic
            Priority: Minor
             Fix For: Field Type branch


setValue methods in Field and subclasses should introduce type safety, beacuse what is now possible is to instantiate a BinaryField and set a non-binary value, but introduce it in such way to be able to preserve the ability to yield setValue(string) on parent Field class, e.g.: 
{code}
Field b = new BinaryField(); 
b.setValue( ..byte[] value.. );
{code}
One idea is to use generics:
{code}
Field<String> s = new StringField();
{code}
