Separately specify a field's type

    Description

      This came up from dicussions on IRC. I'm summarizing here...

      Today when you make a Field to add to a document you can set things
      index or not, stored or not, analyzed or not, details like omitTfAP,
      omitNorms, index term vectors (separately controlling
      offsets/positions), etc.

      I think we should factor these out into a new class (FieldType?).
      Then you could re-use this FieldType instance across multiple fields.

      The Field instance would still hold the actual value.

      We could then do per-field analyzers by adding a setAnalyzer on the
      FieldType, instead of the separate PerFieldAnalzyerWrapper (likewise
      for per-field codecs (with flex), where we now have
      PerFieldCodecWrapper).

      This would NOT be a schema! It's just refactoring what we already
      specify today. EG it's not serialized into the index.

      This has been discussed before, and I know Michael Busch opened a more
      ambitious (I think?) issue. I think this is a good first baby step. We could
      consider a hierarchy of FIeldType (NumericFieldType, etc.) but maybe hold
      off on that for starters...
