Summary: Add DocValue support for RangeFields
Key: LUCENE-8362
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-8362
Project: Lucene - Core
Issue Type: Improvement
Reporter: Nicholas Knize
I'm opening this issue to discuss adding DocValue support to
{{\{Int|Long|Float|Double\}Range}} field types. Since existing numeric range
fields already provide the methods for encoding ranges as a byte array I think
this could be as simple as adding syntactic sugar to existing range fields that
simply build an instance of {{BinaryDocValues}} using that same encoding. I'm
envisioning something like {{doc.add(IntRange.newDocValuesField("intDV", 100)}}
But I'd like to solicit other ideas or potential drawbacks to this approach.
