Please ask these type of questions on the user mailing list, you will
get much better responses. The dev list is for developers of Lucene.
To answer your question, yes you can do this. You may find the
FieldSelector API additions and Lazy Field Loading to be helpful
performance wise, as well.

Hello
It's a whil that I am using lucene and as most of people seemingly
do, I
used to save only some important fields of a docuemnt in the index.
But
recently I thought why not store the whole document bytes as an
untokenized
field in the index in order to ease the retrieval process? For example
serialize the pdf file into a byte[] and then save the bytes as a
field in
the index.(some gzip and base64 encodings may be needed as glue
logic). Then
I can delete the original file from the system. Is there any reason
against
this idea? Can lucene bear this large volume of input streamed data?
