.Multi-value fields and the inverted index
****************************************************
The fact that all field types support multi-value fields out of the box is a
consequence of the origins of Lucene. Lucene was designed to be a full text
search engine. In order to be able to search for individual words within a
big block of text, Lucene tokenizes the text into individual terms, and
adds each term to the inverted index separately.
This means that even a simple text field must be able to support multiple
values by default. When other data types were added, such as numbers and
dates, they used the same data structure as strings, and so got multi-values
for free.
