[jira] [Commented] (SOLR-3855) DocValues support

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-3855?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13576588#comment-13576588 ] 

Robert Muir commented on SOLR-3855:
-----------------------------------

I like the size of this patch!

One thing thats a little confusing is the multivalued check against a boolean 'hasDocValues'.

In lucene this is not a limitation of docvalues per-say, instead its controlled-per-type. it just happens that all 3 types today have consumers that check for this and throw exception, but we might add a multi-valued type later (LUCENE-4765).

Separately there is also the possibility that someone can lay down their own multi-valued encoding over e.g. a binary dv (like lucene facets/). But if we have a private check called from SchemaField's ctor and checks in e.g. DocumentBuilder, it seems like this would be difficult to change. Maybe as a start we should just let IndexWriter handle the check here?

> It would be nice if Solr supported DocValues:
>  - for ID fields (fewer disk seeks when running distributed search),
>  - for sorting/faceting/function queries (faster warmup time than fieldcache),
>  - better on-disk and in-memory efficiency (you can use packed impls).
