Uwe Schindler commented on LUCENE-4936:
---------------------------------------

bq. But NumericField is totally unrelated to docvalues!

Thats clear. I just said, if you use a LONG docvalues field and store the long 
epoch its always timezone-less. That was what I wanted to say. This applies to 
Solr, too.

> DocValues fields can be very wasteful if you are storing dates (like solr's 
> TrieDateField does if you enable docvalues) and don't actually need all the 
> precision: e.g. "date-only" fields like date of birth with no time component, 
> time fields without milliseconds precision, and so on.
> Ideally we'd compute GCD of all the values to save space 
> (numberOfTrailingZeros is not really enough here), but i think we should at 
> least look for values like 86400000, 3600000, and 1000 to be practical.
