Robert Muir commented on LUCENE-7920:
-------------------------------------
True, but I think it only does recognition, correct? To "parse" in this case
means going to a byte[] and involves ipv6 address decompression and other
complexity.
I just still argue its a non-feature to do an ipv6 prefix query on an ipv4
address :)

>
> {{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}}.
