Lucene - string field which doesn't need to be indexed
<p>(Currently using Lucene 4.6).</p>

<p>Just wondering why it appears sort of undesirable to store text info in an <code>org.apache.lucene.document.Document</code> which is not indexed.  <code>TextField</code> is indexed and tokenized.  <code>StringField</code> is indexed but not tokenized.</p>

<p>But supposing you just need a <code>String</code> which accompanies the other info in your <code>org.apache.lucene.document.Document</code>s but will itself never be the subject of a query?</p>

<p>It's just that (in 4.6) <code>org.apache.lucene.document.Field.Index</code> has a "NO", meaning "Do not index the field value.", but this is currently "Deprecated".</p>

<p>Why?  Is there a better way of having "inert" <code>String</code> info accompanying your indexed (and possibly tokenized) more significant fields?</p>
