Re: [hibernate-dev] [HSEARCH] Proposal to change the default value of Field#norms()

Proposal for next versions: allow @Stereotype - like user annotations? We would let the user define custom annotations to stack/combine multiple framework annotations, possibly centralizing what the "default" is for your app and reduce the amount of code people have to pile on each getter. I think it's reasonable to think that many user types are reused multiple times in a real world application having many entities, and likely want them to be indexed all in the same way.

As an added benefit this would resolve the concerns raised by some users about having their domain model need to "depend" on our annotations at compile time.
