Field.Keyword vs new Field(String, String, true, true, true)

[Yousef Ourabi]

I have a quick question on the Field class. What is the difference between this:

for ()
Field content = new Field("content", contentArray[i], true, true, true, true);
doc.add(content);

and this:

doc.add(Field.Keyword("userAlias", userAlias ));

In the first example where the constructor is uesed will the second
term be entered as a Keyword by default? I am a little confused
because the JavaDoc's list both and I am not clear on the difference.

The boolean parameters line up to these flags, in order: boolean  
store, boolean index, boolean token, boolean storeTermVector

Field.Keyword is the same as true, true, false, false

Your first call stores, indexes, tokenizes, and stores term vectors.  
Your second call is a field that is stored and indexed, but neither  
tokenized nor storing term vectors.
