Order of stored Fields not maintained
-------------------------------------

                 Key: LUCENE-1727
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-1727
             Project: Lucene - Java
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Index
    Affects Versions: 2.4.1, 2.4
            Reporter: Hoss Man


As noted in these threads...

http://www.nabble.com/Order-of-fields-returned-by-Document.getFields%28%29-to21034652.html
http://www.nabble.com/Order-of-fields-within-a-Document-in-Lucene-2.4%2B-to24210597.html

somewhere prior to Lucene 2.4.1 a change was introduced that prevents the 
Stored fields of a Document from being returned in same order that they were 
originally added in.  This can cause serious performance problems for people 
attempting to use LoadFirstFieldSelector or a custom FieldSelector with the 
LOAD_AND_BREAK, or the SIZE_AND_BREAK options (since the fields don't come back 
in the order they expect)

Speculation in the email threads is that the origin of this bug is code 
introduced by LUCENE-1301 -- but the purpose of that issue was refactoring, so 
if it really is the cause of the change this would seem to be a bug, and not a 
side affect of a conscious implementation change.

Someone who understands indexing internals should investigate this.  At a 
minimum, if it's decided that this is not actual a bug, then prior to resolving 
this bug the wiki docs and some of the FIeldSelector javadocs should be updated 
to make it clear what order Fields will be returned in.
