Description

At the last lucene/solr revolution, Toke asked a question about why TextField doesn't support docValues. The short answer is because no one ever added it, but the longer answer was because we would have to think through carefully the intent of supporting docValues for a "tokenized" field like TextField, and how to support various conflicting usecases where they could be handy.
