Is it possible to get only one Field from a Document?

But I doubt this will solve your memory issue because nonstored fields are not read when retrieving the document.

This is possible, you need to provider a FieldSelector to
IndexReader#document(docId, selector). This won't work with Hits
though, because Hits does not expose the document number, so you
need to roll your own solution using TopDocs or HitCollector, for
information see the discussion in this issue: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-1290

I have a environment where we have indexed a DB with about 6mil
entries
with Lucene, and each row has 25 columns. 20 cols have integer codes
used as filters (indexed/unstored), and the other 5 have (very) large
texts (also indexed/unstored). Currently the search I'm doing is
like this:

Hits hits = searcher.search(query);
for (int i = 0; i < this.hits.length(); i++) {
Document doc = this.hits.doc(i);
String s = doc.get("fieldWanted");
// does everything with the result, etc
}

We are trying to reduce memory usage, however. Is it possible to
return
a Document object with just the Fields I really need? In the example,
each Document have 25 fields, and I just need one... would this
theoretically make any difference?

For the record, Hits.id(int i) returns the document number. Note,
though, that Hits is now deprecated, as pointed out by the link to
1290, so going the TopDocs route is probably better anyway.
