Difference between StoredField vs Other Fields with Field.Store.YES

[Gimantha Bandara <gi...@wso2.com>]

Hi all,

Is there a difference between using StoredField and using other types of
fields with Field.Store.YES?

Another question, Is it a good practise to use NumericDocValuesField
instead of using usual Fields (IntField, LongField, StringField ...etc)
with Field.Store.NO ?

It will depend on what the other type of field is.  As the javadoc for
Field states, the xxxField classes are sugar.  If you are doing
standard things on standard data it's generally easier to use the
sugar classes, but if you need control you can build your own fields
however you like.

Sorry, can't answer that.
