Vinicius Barros commented on LUCENE-1768:
-----------------------------------------
Sorry, I have been in silence for so long time, trying to get some results, but
many doubts showed up, I need to guidance here.
First, I started working on implementing >=, <=, <, > and = operator for
standard query parser. Then I later realized someone had submitted a patch for
that already and I stopped working on it.
Then I decided to implement support for date resolutions for numeric queries in
query parser. I started by changing NumberDateFormat to receive a resolution
parameter (DAY, SECONDS, MINUTES, etc) and this new parameter is taken into
account when doing the date conversion. For that, I added a new method to do
the date rounding that takes TimeZone into account, since the current round
methods in DateTools do not support timezone. I was able to make it work up to
this part.
After that, I started to work on date compression, as you suggested before Uwe.
For example, if the user wants a DAY resolution, NumberDateFormat should only
return the number of days for the given date since 1970, not the miliseconds.
For SECOND resolution, it's easy, just divide the miliseconds by 1000. For
minutes the same, divide the miliseconds by 1000 * 60 and so on. However, when
I got to month, I have no easy way to compress the miliseconds, I mean, no easy
way to truncate the days and only get the month count since 1970. The only good
solution I found was to get the number of years since 1970 and multiply by 12
plus the current month number.
I am still wondering if we can always assume that dividing the miliseconds by
1000 (sec), 60 (minute), 60 (hour) and 24 (day) will actually be precise. What
about the leap second? Not sure if the miliseconds -> (defined_resolution) and
(defined_resolution) -> miliseconds will always be correct. Maybe I am missing
something or overcomplicating.

> 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.
