I'm messing with putting binary data directly in the index.  I have a
field class with:

  @Override
  public TokenStream tokenStreamValue() {
    byte[] value = (byte[])fieldsData;

    Token token = new Token( 0, value.length, "geo" );
    token.resizeBuffer( value.length );
    BytesRef ref = token.getBytesRef();
    ref.bytes = value;
    ref.length = value.length;
    ref.offset = 0;
    token.setLength( ref.length );
    return new SingleTokenTokenStream( token );
  }

but that is just writing an empty token.  Is it possible to set the
Token value without converting to char[]?

thanks
ryan

check out Test2BTerms for an example...

works great - thanks!
