If it's done with a parameter, I would want the parameter to work correctly if included multiple times, then add an exclusion default to the appends section rather than defaults or invariants. > And one thing about your notion. docValues are only primitive types, > i.e. string in this case.

Oh, fun. 32K might be enough for my index, but it is not enough for general usage. Is my understanding about stored fields correct, that even if excluded from fl, the data on the disk for a given field would still be read as part of decompression? That's what I was hoping to avoid by using docValues. Just how much pain would be involved in implementing an option to disable stored field compression, and if that became possible, would it avoid the need to read field data that isn't used? Thanks, Shawn
