Uwe Schindler commented on LUCENE-1768:
---------------------------------------
bq. I see some classes in Lucene use Version, but I don't know exactly how that
works and why standard query parser do not use it. Should it?
Version is inteneded to be used for behavioural changes to keep index
compatibility, so people can use new Lucene versions without reindexing. It
does not help for API changes (it could sometimes, but only for those cases
where the API changes are something like: If versionA call method a else method
b) if method a or b trigger different APIs.
Typical examples for Version are changes in tokenization (so most analyzers use
it): When a bugfix in the analyzer produces different tokens than before the
version flag is used to be able to enable the "buggy" behaviour, so querying
your index with the "wrong" tokens still works. The core queryparser also uses
it to change the behaviour of creating phrase queries (the flexible query
parser is, as far as I know, still missing this).
I am away this weekend, I will come back to you on Monday for the other
questions.

> 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.
