For example, I do not need to index the number for the "content" field. It
helps me reduce the index size a lot when I have some excel files. But I
always need the "created_date" to be indexed though it is a number field.


I know there are some workarounds put in the group, but I think it should be
a good feature to have.

The "workaround" is to write a custom analyzer and and have it do the desired thing per-field.


Hmmm.... just thinking out loud here without knowing if this is possible, but could a generic "wrapper" Analyzer be written that allows other analyzers to be used under the covers based on a field name/analyzer mapping? If so, that would be quite cool and save folks from having to write custom analyzers as much to handle this pretty typical use-case. I'll look into this more in the very near future personally, but feel free to have a look at this yourself and see what you can come up with.
