Hi Trejkaz,

You can still use a standard collector if you don’t need to worry about 
multi-threaded search.  It sounds as though what you want to do is implement 
your own Collector that will read and record docvalues hits, and use 
MultiCollector to wrap it and a standard TopDocsCollector together.
