Going through https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/guide/current/_deep_dive_on_doc_values.html , is it possible to enable only docValues and disable stored/indexed attributes for a field?
In that case, the field will become only sortable/facetable/pivotable but it cannot be searched nor can it be retrieved? I am guessing that stored comes naturally when a field has docValues enabled. Is that a correct understanding?
