                 Key: HSEARCH-93
                 URL: http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/browse/HSEARCH-93
             Project: Hibernate Search
          Issue Type: New Feature
          Components: engine
    Affects Versions: 3.0.0.beta3
            Reporter: koen handekyn


example class

class MyDocument {

  @DocumentId
   long id;

  @Fields
  java.util.map<String, String> metaData;

}

the @Fields annotation stores each key value pair as a lucene key value.

this allows efficient searching on loosely typed object meta data (which is typically hard to map onto a relational database model but perfect for a lucene index)

note : this could probably be realized with a FieldBridge but a specifc annotaion could be handy

note : ideally a MultiMap is also supported as a property can have multiple occurances in a lucene document
