[jira] Commented: (SOLR-752) Allow better Field Compression options

["David Smiley (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

David Smiley commented on SOLR-752:
-----------------------------------

I spent some time today attempting to implement this with my own Solr FieldType that extends TextField.  As I tried to implement it, I realized that I couldn't really do it.  FieldType has a method createField(...) that is necessary to implement in order to set binary data (i.e. byte[]) on a Field.  This method demands I return a org.apache.lucene.document.Field which is final.  If I create the field with binary data, by default it's not indexed or tokenized.  I can get those booleans to flip by simply invoking f.setTokenStream(null).  However, I can't set omitNorms() to false, nor can I set booleans for the term vector fields.  There may be other issues but at this point I gave up to work on other more important priorities of mine.

> It would be good if Solr handled field compression outside of Lucene's Field.COMPRESS capabilities, since those capabilities are less than ideal when it comes to control over compression.
