I can't help but feel a bit frustrated by this question. Lucene is open source, and if you are really curious about the internals, crack it open and have a look. Field.java is a pretty simplistic class, and easy to understand. The only difference is one take a Reader and the other a String for the field value - and internally a String is converted to a StringReader. So it's not redundant since the input types are different, but the basic flags set on them are identical.

No difference at all in how they are handled. Both indexed, and tokenized, and not stored.
