one Field in many documents

[ne...@gazeta.pl]

Hi,

I have to index many documents with the same fields (only one or two
fields are different). Can I add a field (Field instance) to many
documents? It seams to work but I'm not sure if this is the right way...

Thank you

What does "many" mean in this context?  If it means "most", or "all", 
perhaps it would be better not to index those fields at all -- they 
would be adding little or nothing, in terms of information content.

In general I would say this is not safe, because it seems to assume too
much about the implementation - and while it might in most cases currently
work, the implementation could change and the program assuming this would
stop working. It would most probably not work correctly right from the
start for fields constructed with a Reader.
