[jira] [Updated] (LUCENE-4087) Provide consistent IW behavior for illegal meta data changes

     [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-4087?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Simon Willnauer updated LUCENE-4087:
------------------------------------

    Description: 
Currently IW fails late and inconsistent if field metadata like an already defined DocValues type or "un"-omitting norms.


we can approach this similar to how we handle consistent field number and:
 
* throw exception if indexOptions conflict (e.g. omitTF=true versus
false) instead of silently dropping positions on merge
* same with omitNorms
* same with norms types and docvalues types
* still keeping field numbers consistent

this way we could eliminate all these traps and just give an
exception instead.
