Grant Ingersoll commented on SOLR-359:
--------------------------------------

I am working on extending the LukeRequestHandler (LRH) and the LukeResponse to give more info about the FieldTypes.  Right now, the LRH returns the name of the FieldType, but does not return the class name.  Also, I would like to return back more structured access to the FieldType information by extracting it from the IndexInfo in the same way the FieldInfo does now.

Currently,  I am mirroring what is done for the FieldInfo to add FieldTypeInfo. 

One question, though, LRH currently writes out the instance of the Analyzer (around line 371 of LRH), would it be better to just return the class name?  Or do people actually need the value of Analyzer.toString()

Also, do I need to worry about back-compatibility of the message?  That is, if I add in the class name of the FieldType instance (i.e. solr.IntField, etc.) does that break the compatibility of the message?

I will post a new patch shortly which has more access to the FieldType info.

> The LukeResponse has access, when reading in the NamedList to more information that is not currently being shared, like the "flags" for each FieldInfo and/or the indexInfo object so that more info about the fields may be used by the client.
