I don't need to search the "signature" field. But my intuition tells me that
if I index this field, I will use less hard disk space since a lot of docs
may have the same signature.

Am I right?

Storing and indexing are completely disjoint: indexing is a lossy
operation, so if you want to be able retrieve the original contents,
they must be stored separately (ie., the first option uses the least
space).
