a plea to reconsider deprecating luceneOptions.getStore(), luceneOptions.getIndex() etc
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: HSEARCH-572
                 URL: http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/browse/HSEARCH-572
             Project: Hibernate Search
          Issue Type: Deprecation
            Reporter: Jason Eacott


Maybe I'm missing something, but for a fieldBridge I've noticed that it is now recommended to use luceneOptions.addFieldToDocument in place of document.add(new Field...

This decision seems a bit overzealous and optimistic to me, especially given the current and significant lag in lucene version vs supported HibernateSearch version.

for example - if luceneOptions.getStore(), luceneOptions.getIndex() etc are not deprecated then I can easily use them to create a custom field bridge for field types unknown to hibernateSearch. While these methods remain it is very easy to create a dynamic MapBridge for example that can choose to index a Map's key value pairs as Text or NumericFields as appropriate (Since HSearch currently has no support for NumericFields this is very useful). Without these methods, the options are much more limited. 

So I'd just like to ask that either these methods remain, or an alternate arrangement be made available whereby any lucene field type can be added to a document with suitable index, store, boost, termvector etc. 

Cheers.
