Hmmm, that may be a wrinkle. I'm actually not sure what'll happen if the _raw_ thing you copy to the int field is not an int (or whatever). You spoke of character code translation, so it may blow up. In which case I'd consider a custom update processor that read the source field, performed whatever mods you want to it and added the dest field.
You _might_ get away with the dest field doing the translation with a PatternReplaceCharFilterFactory, which processes the input stream before it gets analyzed as well....
