In fact you can simply use Field directly to index a numeric field or
a doc values field, ie, DocValuesField/NumericField are truly just
sugar now. You can do everything with Field (expert) that you can do
with these sugar classes... or at least I think so

Wow, I hadn't explored the patch deeply enough. Big +1 to this!
{quote}
But I think we can/should do that after committing this first cleanup?
I suspect that could be a major change just by itself...

Yeah definitely, the more I've thought about it the more impact it could have.
Definitely worth another issue.

> Its confusing how we present CSF functionality to the user, its actually not
> a "field" but an "attribute" of a field like STORED or INDEXED.
> Otherwise, its really hard to think about CSF because there is a mismatch
> between the APIs and the index format.
