_source vs stored fields

Hi Clint,

Thank you for the reply. I was wondering how this relates to the field
cache - does it store the content of the _source field or does store the
tokenized version of regular fields (or maybe I'm completely off thinking
it's related).

Cheers,
Boaz

Hi Boaz

Our application needs to support for two main use cases:

  1. Straight forward searching, where full documents are returned, with
    hit highlighting.
  2. Faceting where we need access to document tokens and metadata
    fields like date.

You don't need _stored fields for either of these. Also, take a look
