-------------------------------------
Summary: Clarify contract of codec APIs with missing/disabled
fields
Key: LUCENE-10354
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-10354
Project: Lucene - Core
Issue Type: Task
Reporter: Adrien Grand
The question has come up a few times of how codec APIs should react to fields
that are missing or do not have the relevant feature enabled.
This issue proposes that we improve javadocs and AssertingCodec following the
same model as doc values and norms:
- The behavior of codec APIs on fields that are missing or don't have the
feature enabled is undefined.
- CodecReader is responsible for checking FieldInfos before delegating to
codec APIs.
- AssertingCodec ensures that we never call codec APIs on missing/disabled
fields.
