I think we're not talking about the same thing.

You asked "How can I calculate the total size of a Lucene Document"...

I was responding to the Terry's comment "In the document types I
usually index (.pdf, .docx/.doc, .eml), there exists a metadata field
called "stream_size" that contains the size of the document on disk. "

Two totally different beasts. One is the source document, the other is
what you choose to put into the index from that document. Not to even
mention that you could, for instance, choose to index only the title
and throw everything else away so the size of the raw document on disk
doesn't seem useful for your case.

Best,
Erick
