----------------------------------------------------------------

DocValues are not really fast with MultiDocValues, because it uses a binary 
search to find the document ID.

If you want them on the IndexReader level, use 
SlowCompositeReaderWrapper.wrap(yourReader), which exposes all atomic APIs on a 
composite reader, too. This is easier to use than MultiDocValues, because it 
covers more cases.

There is a reason to differentiate between composite and atomic readers: Only 
stuff that can be done on the atomic level natively and fast should be exposed 
via AtomicReader. For everything else there are tons of wrapper APIs like 
SlowCompositeReaderWrapper [extends AtomicReader] which emulates the old Lucene 
3.x way of IndexReader before they were splitted). By using them you know, that 
it might not be the fastest approach.

Please close this issue as won't fix, thanks.
