Anyone have any ideas on the quickest way to turn the SearchHits[] array in  
the SearchResult into a list of objects of type 'type'?

So if I make a Java class with two attributes:

class myClass  
{  
long id;  
String name  
}

Store many thousands of them, storing all the fields, do a search on them,  
get the SearchResult, and want to turn the SearchHits array into a List of  
myClass objects, is there some standard techniques for taking all the  
fields and values of a 'SearchHit' and assigning them to the fields of an  
object, 'en mass', or is it going to be one at a time?

I use Jackson for that.  
I iterate the result array and give to Jackson the source then I add the javabean to my own collection.
