Chris Male commented on LUCENE-3453:
------------------------------------

I find it a little unclear how we want users to use DocValues during indexing.  

Do we want people to mark any Field as also being DocValues? In which case it 
becomes as Robert said, an attribute of a field and kind of an indexing 
strategy.  Or we do see DocValues fields being more standalone? in which case 
IndexDocValuesField probably makes sense, just like we have NumericField.
