Description

We should consider changing the default behavior of the uninvertible field option to be dependnt on the schema version property, such that moving forward the fields/fieldtypes will default to uninvertible == false unless an explicit uninvertible=true is specified by the user.

There are a lot of considerations regarding the existing behavior of functionality (like faceting) when the (effective) value of uninvertible is false because we move forward with changing this in a way that could suprise/confuse new users or existing users w/ long heald expectations that certain behavior would just "work" w/o understanding that was because of FieldCache/uninversion.

See parent issue for more background/discussion.
