David Smiley commented on LUCENE-7091:
--------------------------------------

Cool.

Instead of DocValuesHolder, how about actually having one implementation class 
per DocValues type that holds the value.  So, a MemoryNumericDocValues for 
example.  In your patch you do an anonymous class for each one but I think it 
would be clearer to not do that and eliminate the DocValuesHolder which is 
holding for multiple types of values at once which is a little confusing.  Note 
SortedDocValues extends BinaryDocValues so that eliminates an implementation.  
I wish Lucene's DocValue abstractions were interfaces and not abstract classes 
since it prevents collapsing some other similar implementations into fewer 
concrete classes.

Could you move fields() above MemoryFields so it reads more naturally?

Why is there a different sorting approach to sorted numeric vs BytesRef DV 
types?  The former you add to an array and sort eventually, and the latter you 
use a TreeSet.  They could both be handled consistently -- array first then 
sort later.

I noticed the BytesRefs DV data isn't copied; we retain a reference.  Is that 
allowed? I suspect not; seems very risky.  Notice that the term index data uses 
BytesRefHash wrapped around the shared ByteBlockPool.  Perhaps we should do 
similarly using the same ByteBlockPool.

> Sometimes queries executed via the MemoryIndex require certain things to be 
> stored as doc values. Today this isn't possible because the memory index 
> doesn't support this and these queries silently return no results.
