Robert Muir commented on LUCENE-4101:
-------------------------------------
Thinking about this issue a bit, I think its bad if you have to use
Field/FieldType api just to store a field.
So I agree this should be fixed.
Separately we should also make it easy to have a stored-only (not indexed)
field.
I felt like both of these things were easy with the old document API.

A third option is to add boolean isStored to each of XXXFields? So, it's not
stored by default, but then you can do:

I don't like that we are making our apis hard to use just because java doesn't
have named parameter passing or something.
I think the old API was great here: it had an enum for Stored so it was totally
obvious from your code if it was stored or not,
or indexed or not.
I think if we dont like booleans for this silly reason, then we should just use
an enum like the old API!
Extra Stored* classes for each field are just overwhelming.

I can't see a situation where having to add the same field twice with different
flags is good from a usability standpoint.
{quote}
We can never force that. People who are experts or committers are free to add
the field twice if
they want to (nothing stops them), but I don't want to see this forced in our
APIs, its too difficult.
