rmuir opened a new issue, #12125:
URL: https://github.com/apache/lucene/issues/12125
### Description
Currently Field.java has these docs:
```
/**
* Expert: directly create a field for a document. Most users should use one
of the sugar
* subclasses:
*
* <ul>
* <li>{@link TextField}: {@link Reader} or {@link String} indexed for
full-text search
* <li>{@link StringField}: {@link String} indexed verbatim as a single
token
* <li>{@link IntPoint}: {@code int} indexed for exact/range queries.
* <li>{@link LongPoint}: {@code long} indexed for exact/range queries.
* <li>{@link FloatPoint}: {@code float} indexed for exact/range queries.
* <li>{@link DoublePoint}: {@code double} indexed for exact/range queries.
* <li>{@link SortedDocValuesField}: {@code byte[]} indexed column-wise
for sorting/faceting
* <li>{@link SortedSetDocValuesField}: {@code SortedSet<byte[]>} indexed
column-wise for
* sorting/faceting
* <li>{@link NumericDocValuesField}: {@code long} indexed column-wise for
sorting/faceting
* <li>{@link SortedNumericDocValuesField}: {@code SortedSet<long>}
indexed column-wise for
* sorting/faceting
* <li>{@link StoredField}: Stored-only value for retrieving in summary
results
* </ul>
```
I think it would be better to bring this up-to-date. We can at least replace
`IntPoint`, `LongPoint`, `FloatPoint`, and `DoublePoint` with `IntField`,
`LongField`, `FloatField`, and `DoubleField`.
Each one of these classes also documents/links you to look at more expert
classes (e.g. `IntPoint`, `SortedNumericDocValuesField`, `StoredField`) if you
want expert control.
But it would be better to point the user to these new easier-to-use field
subclasses.
