FieldType s are used at two places:
- linked to a DocumentType object, they describe the index fields for this document type,
- linked to a FieldType itself, they describe sub-fields of an index field.
Currently, the only place where FieldType s are used as sub-fields of a FieldType is the TableField . Here,
