Use of .NET's DataTable is simply a convenience hiding the code that formats the information as XML text and ensure that the XML is formatted in a certain specific way. Although it is frowned upon, you could write the XML text directly, or use .NET's XML writer, avoiding use of DataTable.

Either way I still have this middle step of taking hits to some other object then convert to xml. We look at the HitsCollector (maybe not hard enough) do you still have to convert that to a document in order to get the Values of the document?
