Just for the record, the solution that I adopted is as follows:
- Create a setType(String field, String type) and call it for any known
numeric fields, before adding any document. This method saves
the type definition in a file and also sets the Map
that is used in the method StandardQueryPa

This is what I want, yes. But I begin to understand that this is not

Thank you, Mike.
I didn't state why I need this. I want to be able to send
a query to some QueryParser that understands "field:1"
regardless if 'field' was added as StringField or LongField,
for example. I do not want to rely on schema information
if I can avoid it, and rather use a smart QueryPar
Getting the FieldInfos from each AtomicReader is the right approach!
But, FieldInfos won't tell you which XXXField class was used for the
indexing: that information is not fully preserved ...
