Uwe Schindler commented on LUCENE-5327:
---------------------------------------

DocValues are not really fast with MultiDocValues, because it uses a binary 
search to find the document ID.

If you want them on the IndexReader level, use 
SlowCompositeReaderWrapper.wrap(yourReader), which exposes all atomic APIs on a 
composite reader, too. This is easier to use than MultiDocValues, because it 
covers more cases.

There is a reason to differentiate between composite and atomic readers, so 
only stuff that can be done on the atomic level natively and fast should be 
exposed via IndexReader/CompositeReader. For everything else there are tons of 
wrapper APIs. By using them you know, that it might not be the fastest approach.

Please close this issue as won't fix, thanks.
