  `static DocIdSetIterator`
  `getDocValuesDocIdSetIterator(String field, LeafReader reader)`

- ## Constructor Details

  - ### FieldExistsQuery

    public FieldExistsQuery(String field)
    Create a query that will match that have a value for the given `field`.

- ## Method Details

  - ### getDocValuesDocIdSetIterator

    public static DocIdSetIterator getDocValuesDocIdSetIterator(String field, LeafReader reader) throws IOException
    Returns a `DocIdSetIterator` from the given field or null if the field doesn't exist in the reader or if the reader has no doc values for the field.
    Throws:
      `IOException`

  - ### getField

    public String getField()

  - ### toString

    public String toString(String field)
    Description copied from class: `Query`
    Prints a query to a string, with `field` assumed to be the default field and omitted.
    Specified by:
      `toString` in class `Query`

  - ### visit

    public void visit(QueryVisitor visitor)
    Description copied from class: `Query`
    Recurse through the query tree, visiting any child queries.
    Specified by:
      `visit` in class `Query`
    Parameters:
      `visitor` - a QueryVisitor to be called by each query in the tree

  - ### equals

    public boolean equals(Object other)
    Description copied from class: `Query`
    Override and implement query instance equivalence properly in a subclass. This is required so that `QueryCache` works properly.

    Typically a query will be equal to another only if it's an instance of the same class and its document-filtering properties are identical to those of the other instance. Utility methods are provided for certain repetitive code.

    Specified by:
      `equals` in class `Query`
    See Also:
      - `Query.sameClassAs(Object)`
      - `Query.classHash()`

  - ### hashCode

    public int hashCode()
    Description copied from class: `Query`
    Override and implement query hash code properly in a subclass. This is required so that `QueryCache` works properly.
    Specified by:
      `hashCode` in class `Query`
    See Also:
      - `Query.equals(Object)`

  - ### rewrite

    public Query rewrite(IndexSearcher indexSearcher) throws IOException
    Description copied from class: `Query`
    Expert: called to re-write queries into primitive queries. For example, a PrefixQuery will be rewritten into a BooleanQuery that consists of TermQuerys.

    Callers are expected to call `rewrite` multiple times if necessary, until the rewritten query is the same as the original query.

    The rewrite process may be able to make use of IndexSearcher's executor and be executed in parallel if the executor is provided.

    Overrides:
      `rewrite` in class `Query`
    Throws:
      `IOException`
    See Also:
      - `IndexSearcher.rewrite(Query)`

  - ### createWeight

    public Weight createWeight(IndexSearcher searcher, ScoreMode scoreMode, float boost)
    Description copied from class: `Query`
    Expert: Constructs an appropriate Weight implementation for this query.

    Only implemented by primitive queries, which re-write to themselves.

    Overrides:
      `createWeight` in class `Query`
    Parameters:
      `scoreMode` - How the produced scorers will be consumed.
      `boost` - The boost that is propagated by the parent queries.
