Why do you need to know the subreader? If you want to get the document's stored fields, use the MultiReader.
If you really want to know the subreader, use this: http://lucene.apache.org/java/3_3_0/api/core/org/apache/lucene/util/ReaderUtil.html#subReader(int, org.apache.lucene.index.IndexReader) But this is "somewhat slow", so don’t use in inner loops.

Hopefully that helps. This does not work as expected, because the Collector gets the lowest level readers, which are in fact sub-sub-readers (as each single IndexReader contains itself of more "SegmentReaders", unless you have optimized sub-indexes).
