this a sample code, will it store the "message" field?
```
IndexRequestBuilder req = client.prepareIndex("twitter", "tweet")
.setSource(jsonBuilder()
.startObject()
.field("user", "kimchy")
.field("postDate", "12 June")
.field("message", "trying out Elastic Search")
.field("properties").startObject()
.field("message").startObject()
.field("store","yes")
.field("index","analyzed")
.endObject()
.endObject()
.endObject()
);
bulkRequest.add(req);
```
Urgent Help needed.

The whole document is stored by default (under a special field called
\_source), so yes, the message will be part of it.

Thanks, but is there any way to check whether a field is stored or not, i
mean not the \_source field, the fields which i store explicitly.
