### Description As @rmuir managed to make me look into reducing the amount of guessing we're doing in our document API, I think that a requirement for doing it right will be to split our index and store document APIs. Currently, `Document` and `IndexableField` are trying to cover both, which creates a confusing API. For the store API, I wonder if we still need a Document abstraction. Maybe we could return a simple `List<StoredValue>` and push the work on users to convert it into a map if they want to be able to access fields by name. This is something that is easy to do with Java streams nowadays. For the index API, I'd like to model `IndexableField` according to how it's getting consumed by `IndexingChain`. Something like: ```java class IndexableField { // Populates the inverted index, IndexableValue wraps one of a BytesRef or a TokenStream IndexableValue invertedValue(Analyzer analyzer, TokenStream reuse); // Populates points byte[] pointValue(); // Populates NUMERIC or SORTED_NUMERIC doc values long numericDocValue(); // Populates BINARY, SORTED or SORTED_SET doc values BytesRef docValue(); // Populates stored fields StoredValue storedValue(); // Populates byte[] vectors byte[] binaryVectorValue(); // Populates float[] vectors float[] floatVectorValue(); } ``` -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
