But if that's the case, then retrieving full documents is probably too slow locally as well, and probably more fields are being stored in Lucene than is advisable. > Another point is that some hit collectors choose to retrieve > documents > during scoring, however expensive that may be, in order to do some > custom scoring or sorting or whatever.

Good point. My goal was to efficiently distribute Hits-based searching. Optimizing other sorts of searching might require a different API.
