this looks like a very big change to me. you should open an issue and uplaod a 
patch so we can see how that looks like for variable bytes etc.

Well this is just discussion? Basically I'm trying to shoot for some 
simplification here.

As far as variable bytes, maybe DocValues shouldn't actually implement variable 
bytes,
but instead is used only to implement the docid -> offset part. In other words, 
the variable bytes
is basically like stored fields today, and docvalues just does the FDX part. 
This means
docvalues doesnt need a variable bytes impl at all, you just use a Long impl.

For the "FDT" part of variable bytes we could have something else? then this 
would simplify
DocValues some more and narrow its scope.

> There should be a way to get specific IndexDocValues by going through the 
> Directory rather than loading all of the values into memory.
