KinoSearch::FieldSpec::text
|
|
Greets,
I'm contemplating some mods to FieldSpec and Schema.
* Rename KinoSearch::Schema::FieldSpec to
KinoSearch::FieldSpec::text.
* Within the %fields hash, make 'text' an alias for
'KinoSearch::FieldSpec::text'.
* Reserve all-lower-case FieldSpec class names for future use.
The most immediated effect of this would be to cut down on typing:
# before
our %fields = (
foo => 'KinoSearch::Schema::FieldSpec',
bar => 'KinoSearch::Schema::FieldSpec',
);
# after
our %fields = (
foo => 'text',
bar => 'text',
);
There are two other reasons.
First, I intend to write a generic spec for the invindex file format,
and
the word "KinoSearch" shouldn't appear in it.
Second, it reserves space for the addition of 'float', 'blob',
'keyword', and so
on.
our %fields = (
foo => 'text',
bar => 'blob', # alias for KinoSearch::FieldSpec::blob
baz => 'text::unstored', # alias for
KinoSearch::FieldSpec::text::unstored
);
If KinoSearch::Schema::FieldSpec sticks around for now as a subclass/
alias of KinoSearch::FieldSpec::text, then this change doesn't have
to be immediately disruptive.
Thoughts?
