Adrien Grand updated LUCENE-7920:
---------------------------------
    Attachment: LUCENE-7920.patch

Here is a proposal that adds an expert factory method that directly takes the 
binary representation of the address rather than an {{InetAddress}} instance.

> Make it easier to create ip prefix queries

> {{InetAddress.getByAddress}} automatically transforms ipv6-mapped ipv4 
> addresses to ipv4 addresses. While this is usually desirable, it can make ip 
> prefix query a bit trappy. For instance the following code:
> {code}
> InetAddressPoint.newPrefixQuery("a", InetAddress.getByName("::ffff:0:0"), 96);
> {code}
> throws an IAE complaining that the prefix length is invalid: {{illegal 
> prefixLength '96'. Must be 0-32 for IPv4 ranges, 0-128 for IPv6 ranges}}.
