NAME
       Lucy::Plan::FieldType - Define a field's behavior.

SYNOPSIS
           my @sortable;
           for my $field ( @{ $schema->all_fields } ) {
               my $type = $schema->fetch_type($field);
               next unless $type->sortable;
               push @sortable, $field;
           }

DESCRIPTION
       FieldType is an abstract class defining a set of traits and behaviors which may be
       associated with one or more field names.

       Properties which are common to all field types include "boost", "indexed", "stored",
       "sortable", "binary", and "similarity".

       The "boost" property is a floating point scoring multiplier which defaults to 1.0.  Values
       greater than 1.0 cause the field to contribute more to a document's score, lower values,
       less.

       The "indexed" property indicates whether the field should be indexed (so that it can be
       searched).

       The "stored" property indicates whether to store the raw field value, so that it can be
       retrieved when a document turns up in a search.

       The "sortable" property indicates whether search results should be sortable based on the
       contents of the field.

       The "binary" property indicates whether the field contains binary or text data.  Unlike
       most other properties, "binary" is not settable.

       The "similarity" property is a Similarity object which defines matching and scoring
       behavior for the field.  It is required if the field is "indexed".
