So I ran a quick test of my idea and it worked. I modified the schema.xml file - uploaded it to ZK - reloaded the collection - then ran my reindex SolrJ code. After it completed the schema browser in the admin console shows that the field uses docValues. I tried a streaming expression on it to using the /export request handler and that was good - no errors.
Still would love to hear from anyone who has done this differently. tedsolr wrote > Not all my fields use docValues. This is going to be a problem in the > future.
