             Summary: Require consistency between data-structures on a 
per-field basis
                 Key: LUCENE-9334
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-9334
             Project: Lucene - Core
          Issue Type: Improvement
            Reporter: Adrien Grand


Follow-up of 
https://lists.apache.org/thread.html/r747de568afd7502008c45783b74cc3aeb31dab8aa60fcafaf65d5431%40%3Cdev.lucene.apache.org%3E.

We would like to start requiring consitency across data-structures on a 
per-field basis in order to make it easier to do the right thing by default: 
range queries can run faster if doc values are enabled, sorted queries can run 
faster if points by indexed, etc.

This would be a big change, so it should be rolled out in a major.

Strict validation is tricky to implement, but we should still implement 
best-effort validation:
 - Documents all use the same data-structures, e.g. it is illegal for a 
document to only enable points and another document to only enable doc values,
 - When possible, check whether values are consistent too.
