### Description Lucene currently treats the different doc-value types as if they were independent features and `LeafReader#getXXXDocValues()` returns `null` in case of mismatch, e.g. retrieving binary doc values on a field that indexed numeric doc values. I recently learned that this behavior is considered trappy enough that some code bases [forbid these methods](https://github.com/apache/lucene/pull/11950#discussion_r1029470218), which makes me wonder if we should change our stance and fail `LeafReader#getXXXDocValues()` in case of mismatch? -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
