I dunno... coupling functionality to restrictions seems like it starts to erode some of Lucene's famous flexibility. Consider changing the type of a field from an int to a long... a reasonably smart app or user could delete and re-index documents with that field (it could be a small subset). Or even keep track of what documents had an int field vs a long field (via filters or something). -Yonik http://www.lucidimagination.com --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: java-user-unsubscr...@lucene.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: java-user-h...@lucene.apache.org
