> Selective field loading
> -----------------------
>
>          Key: LUCENE-558
>          URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-558
>      Project: Lucene - Java
>         Type: New Feature

>   Components: Index
>     Versions: 2.0
>  Environment: All
>     Reporter: Chuck Williams
>  Attachments: LuceneTrunk.patch
>
> Provides a new api, IndexReader.document(int doc, String[] fields).  A 
> document containing only the specified fields is created.  The other fields 
> of the document are not loaded, although unfortunately uncompressed strings 
> still have to be scanned because the length information in the index is for 
> UTF-8 encoded chars and not bytes.  This is useful for applications that need 
> quick access to a small subset of the fields.  It can be used in conjunction 
> with or for some uses instead of ParallelReader.
> This is a much smaller change for a simpler use case than Lucene-545.  No 
> existing API's are affected.
> All the tests pass and new tests are added to verify the feature.
