Re: [hibernate-dev] [Hibernate Search] Feedback on Document Field lazy loading
Chances are that if you need to use exactly the field name, using a
TwoWayStringBridge is what you need.

True, but that is really an exceptional case. In most cases the
added field names will be constant, otherwise it is damn hard to
write a query. getFieldNames(String name) could return null in case
the field names are dynamic. The API is not 100% intuative this way,
but I think I still would prefer a explicit list of field names over
a enum type like EXACT, IN_NAMESPACE or NON_SAFE.
