I have been personally using the first one (and I also requested it :-)) but
I am a bit confused about the second one.
Is it that the first one made "\_index" name value in Lucene index optional
while the second one default?
Regards,
Lukas

The second one allows to do term facets on the index name without needing to
store it in a document.
