Ahh yes.  I actually just hit this problem with Japanese...  I'll post a fix

>      Project: Lucene - Java

> If you just want to retrieve a single field from a Document, the only way to 
> do it is to retrieve all the fields from the Document and then search it.  
> This patch is an optimization that allows you retrieve a specific field from 
> a document without instantiating a lot of field and string objects.  This 
> reduces our memory consumption on a per query basis by around around 20% when 
> a lot of documents are returned.
> I've added a lot of comments saying you should only call it if you only ever 
> need one field.  There's also a unit test.
