The page on the reference guide is totally correct, and it explains everything I said in this thread, just in a better-written way: https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/solr/DocValues The main issue is: the "old wiki" page is unversioned (updating it means caveating every statement with <!> 4.1 <!> 4.2 <!> 4.3: its too much of a hassle, too much like legalese, and a total waste of time since we now have the reference guide). In my opinion this page should just be deleted or more ideally replaced with some magic that forwards to the reference guide page automatically. I think we should do this in general with all pages on the "old wiki".
