Out of curiosity, how is this used (and in what contexts)?
I'm wondering the implications of new fields appearing when new
documents are added.  Will this mess up the JDBC driver?

I'm not sure we should be segregating stored fields this way (by
whether they are column/docValues or not).
By default, all of our non-text fields already have docvalues enabled.
If someone wants to retrieve or operate on row-stored text fields, it
seems like they should be able to do so via the streaming API (or
SQL).

I guess we could also go the other direction and *only* support
docValues (i.e. scrap row-stored fields).  But that seems a little
more extreme, and I'm also not sure if binary docValues would work as
well or could hold text fields of the same size as row-stored fields
can.
