For numeric fields, half open ranges are important, as it supports queries like
"price < 2.00 Dollar". Wasn't there not also an issue open to support other
syntax for numerics like > and < operators?

Yes, there is, just do not recall the JIRA number now. Maybe Vinicius could try
to implement it as well to fill out his task list in case he finishes his tasks
before schedule, since it is also related to numeric queries. I am just not
sure how much complex the task would be, I know the big change for this is in
the syntax parser, which will require to know how to change javacc files.

> It would be good to specify some type of "schema" for the query parser in
> future, to automatically create NumericRangeQuery for different numeric
> types? It would then be possible to index a numeric value
> (double,float,long,int) using NumericField and then the query parser knows,
> which type of field this is and so it correctly creates a NumericRangeQuery
> for strings like "[1.567..*]" or "(1.787..19.5]".
> There is currently no way to extract if a field is numeric from the index, so
> the user will have to configure the FieldConfig objects in the ConfigHandler.
> But if this is done, it will not be that difficult to implement the rest.
> The only difference between the current handling of RangeQuery is then the
> instantiation of the correct Query type and conversion of the entered numeric
> values (simple Number.valueOf(...) cast of the user entered numbers).
> Evenerything else is identical, NumericRangeQuery also supports the MTQ
> rewrite modes (as it is a MTQ).
> Another thing is a change in Date semantics. There are some strange flags in
> the current parser that tells it how to handle dates.
