Simon Willnauer commented on LUCENE-3862:
-----------------------------------------
actually I really don't want this! this increases the complexity. The interface
says it can provide Bytes, Integers and Floats independent of their internal
encoding or max size. With those methods in place we just gonna cast around
which should be done by the user of the API.
> DocValues getInt() returns long, getFloat() returns double
