You can store the values as a coma separated string (which then you'll need to parse manually back to a HashMap)

To add an UnIndexed Field to an index takes only Strings as parameters. Does anyone have any suggestions on how I might convert the HashMap to a String that is efficiently recomposed into the desired HashMap on the other end?
