Hi, Lucene heavily relies on the fact that the internal doc IDs are dense and sequential. This is at the core of Lucene's design and is the key to compact postings lists and easily addressable doc values, stored fields, etc... Is there a specific reason why you don't want to handle these 16-bytes identifiers on top of the Lucene index (as a standard field)?
