      public class SuggestField
      extends Field

  Field that indexes a string value and a weight as a weighted completion against a named suggester. Field is tokenized, not stored and stores documents, frequencies and positions. Field can be used to provide near real time document suggestions.

  Besides the usual `Analyzer`s, `CompletionAnalyzer` can be used to tune suggest field only parameters (e.g. preserving token separators, preserving position increments when converting the token stream to an automaton)

  Example indexing usage:

       document.add(new SuggestField(name, "suggestion", 4));

  To perform document suggestions based on the this field, use `SuggestIndexSearcher.suggest(CompletionQuery, int, boolean)`
  WARNING: This API is experimental and might change in incompatible ways in the next release.

    - #### FIELD_TYPE

          public static final FieldType FIELD_TYPE

      Default field type for suggest field

  - ### Constructor Detail

    - #### SuggestField

          public SuggestField(String name,
                              String value,
                              int weight)

      Creates a `SuggestField`
      Parameters:
        `name` - field name
        `value` - field value to get suggestions on
        `weight` - field weight
      Throws:
        `IllegalArgumentException` - if either the name or value is null, if value is an empty string, if the weight is negative, if value contains any reserved characters

  - ### Method Detail

    - #### tokenStream

          public TokenStream tokenStream(Analyzer analyzer,
                                         TokenStream reuse)

      Specified by:
