This behavior is specific to the Solr interface. It first fetches document IDs matching the criteria and then fetches the documents from Riak KV. Using the Erlang interface you can fetch just the IDs. It would certainly make sense to add an option like that, but it'd be inconsistent with Solr's interface.
As far as I know (and I tried to confirm this in the dark depths of the Solr wiki) you can tell Solr to store specifc indexed fields, but not specify an option at query time to omit stored fields. Correct me if I'm wrong though, would be more than reason (and probably also simple) enough to add something like that to the Riak Search Solr API.
