Adrien Grand commented on LUCENE-5596:
--------------------------------------
bq. but those types like BigDecimal or BigInteger should maybe use
precisionSteps of multiples than 8 only
+1 Anything below would certainly be wasteful.
bq. PrefixTermsTokenFilter / MultiTermQuery like NumericUtils.splitTerms()
This sounds good!
> Support for index/search large numeric field

> Currently if an number is larger than Long.MAX_VALUE, we can't index/search
> that in lucene as a number. For example, IPv6 address is an 128 bit number,
> so we can't index that as a numeric field and do numeric range query etc.
> It would be good to support BigInteger / BigDecimal
> I've tried use BigInteger for IPv6 in Elasticsearch and that works fine, but
> there are still lots of things to do
