I'm working with Lucene 4's DocValues in a Solr app, but using it to store multiple values encoded into a byte array. Unfortunately, Solr's DocumentBuilder code passes each value individually to the FieldType calling createField() for each value, and so the FieldType never sees all the values for a given document at once. My short-term solution that avoids hacking Solr is to have a special UpdateRequestProcessor that will combine the values into a special object that the FieldType will get. It's inelegant.
Instead, perhaps have a method on FieldType like isMultiValueAware() to indicate that the "value" parameter to createField(s) is to be a Collection when multiple values are passed. Just an idea, there are other ways to do it.
