I've used that it said `doc_values` is not supported in `text` fields in the document of fielddata:

> Most fields can use index-time, on-disk [`doc_values`](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/doc-values.html) for this data access pattern, but [`text`](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/text.html) fields do not support `doc_values` .

However there is no metion about the `doc_values` in chapter of `text` and `doc_value` itself.

What's more, I've tested to use `doc_value` option in `text` field in version 7.1 as well, but there is no any exception or warning text emitted. Is this a bug or the description in `fielddata` is wrong?
