Hi All As far as I can see FieldValueQuery ends up with fetching Bits from DocValues.
But I'm having the need for similar functionality for Fields without DocValue like String and TextFields and was wondering if some has had the same issue and found a good solution. I'm also having problems with figuring out what the purpose of the query is from usage perspective as it is a highly specialized query for questions like find docs that can be sort on field "foo". For now I've circumvented it by extending the IndexWriter and within the addDocument method create a new binaryDocValueField with empty ByteRefs for all IndexableField having DocValueType == DocValueTypes.NONE. It works but is not a pretty solution, but is there any alternatives? /Hans Lund
