[hibernate-issues] [Hibernate-JIRA] Commented: (HSEARCH-434) Make use of NumericField

[Emmanuel Bernard (JIRA)]

    [ http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/browse/HSEARCH-434?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=38683#action_38683 ] 

Emmanuel Bernard commented on HSEARCH-434:
------------------------------------------

It's the same discussion we had with one more options basically. But it boils down to extensibility. I am concerned about flat annotations with many irrelevant options in many cases. The options on the table are:
 - a fully dedicated @NumericField annotation copying some of the @Field types
 - put everything on @Field with the risk of confusing people (esp when new types of types come to the table)
 - have an extension annotation ie @Field @NumericField(forField)
 - use the same mechanism Bean Validation uses to compose annotations (ie a @NumericField annotated with @Field, @Boost etc)

The last option is quite elegant but I don't think it provides much benefits to the user as I don't see extensibility as a primary feature at this time.
