Why are you saving this? Because if the bitset you're saving
has anything to do with, say, filter queries, it's probably useless.
The internal bitsets are often based on the internal Lucene doc ID,
which will change when segment merges happen, thus the caution.
Otherwise, theres the binary type you can probably use. It's not very
efficient since I believe it uses base-64 encoding under the covers
though...
Is this an "XY" problem?
