This brings me to a related discussion: in-memory and index Field representations.
Does an in-memory Field guarantee access to its name and value? Say I retrieve a Field from a Document A, and add it to a new Document B. Before writing B to the index, I delete A. Would B still contain the Field? If so, does it work for both String-based and Reader-based values?
