Robert Muir commented on LUCENE-6975:
-------------------------------------
To me its the word "Dimensional" in these names that is the scary one.
But we need to break here, we can't name things e.g. FloatField or there is a
big risk of users mixing the two things. We've also got FloatDocValuesField
that we don't want to cause confusion with. And somehow it needs to be clear
that e.g. you need DimensionalQuery to use it, TermQuery won't work. To me
thats a difference vs a regular Field.
One idea is the part "Field" could be something different. For example instead
of FloatDocValuesField we could have "FloatColumn", you add that to your
document, and then we have ColumnRangeQuery that goes with it, instead of
DocValuesRangeQuery. In that case, i feel like the different term really helps
you think about what is going on vs Field.
But what to use for Dim values? FloatValue wouldn't be totally horrible, but I
feel like "value" is overloaded too much, is there a better term we can use?

>
> Today, you can make a dimensional range query using e.g.
> {{DimensionalRangeQuery.new1DIntRange}}, etc., plus a direct ctor for
> "expert" (2D, 3D, etc.) usages, but matching a single value is awkward and
> users ask about it from time to time.
> We could maybe rename {{DimensionalRangeQuery}} to {{DimensionalQuery}} and
> add new "factories" like {{newIntEqualsQuery}} or something.
> Or, we could make new classes, {{DimensionalIntEqualsQuery}} etc., and you
> get to use ordinary constructors?
> Or something else?
