according to
http://lucene.apache.org/java/2_0_0/api/index.html
there is a constructor:
Field(String name, byte[] value, Field.Store store)
Create a stored field with binary value.
... which is what i want since it specifies byte array as second
argument and because this is the only constructor that accepts
Field.Store as third parameter and no fourth.
I am actually storing binary stuff in here, not unicode... How can i
trigger that constructor?
