If you disable term freq, you also have to disable positions. The "freq"
tells you how many positions there are.

Marvin: as stated, we would have to actually implement this.
There's an issue open for it too: LUCENE-2048.
I was just discussing this with someone the other day.

I think it's asking an awful lot of our users to require that they understand
all the implications of posting format modifications when committers
have difficulty mastering all the subtleties.

I don't know what I did to piss you off, but I just thought it would be nice
for completeness, to mention that this feature is still open and its
something we should think about.

> This came up from dicussions on IRC.  I'm summarizing here...
> Today when you make a Field to add to a document you can set things
> index or not, stored or not, analyzed or not, details like omitTfAP,
> omitNorms, index term vectors (separately controlling
> offsets/positions), etc.
> I think we should factor these out into a new class (FieldType?).
> Then you could re-use this FieldType instance across multiple fields.
> The Field instance would still hold the actual value.
> We could then do per-field analyzers by adding a setAnalyzer on the
> FieldType, instead of the separate PerFieldAnalzyerWrapper (likewise
> for per-field codecs (with flex), where we now have
> PerFieldCodecWrapper).
> This would NOT be a schema!  It's just refactoring what we already
> specify today.  EG it's not serialized into the index.
> This has been discussed before, and I know Michael Busch opened a more
> ambitious (I think?) issue.  I think this is a good first baby step.  We could
> consider a hierarchy of FIeldType (NumericFieldType, etc.) but maybe hold
> off on that for starters...
