Uwe Schindler commented on LUCENE-1470:
---------------------------------------

I do not know what you had done in your code. Did you directly converted the 
byte[] arrays to a string, e.g. by using new String(byte[],charset) or without 
charset (in this case Java would use whats actual, but maybe its UTF-8)? Then, 
the character 216 (0xd8) would be interpreted by new String() as an UTF-8/16 
sequence or whatever and map to some unknown char. UnicodeUtils, on the other 
hand, encodes the java chars to UTF-8 when storing in index, but does not like 
chars >0xd800 and replaces them by the replacement char for unknown chars. And 
this is a modification, as the char >0xd800 is not valid (see source of 
UnicodeUtils). and 0xd800 looks like 0xd8 (==216).

My code does not transform a byte[] directly to a string, it creates a 16 bit 
standard java char of each byte with some offset. As the trie code only 
produces bytes between 0-255 and it adds a offset of 0x30 to it, the range of 
chars is 0x30..0x12f. This range is unicode safe and can be easily encoded to 
UTF-8. But I will make a explicit testcase for that tomorrow!

Maybe your problem was the mentioned mis-use of directly generating strings 
from byte arrays using unknown/incorrect charset. Keep me informed!

By the way Earwin Burrfoot: are you sure, your 15bit encoding works with the 
latest Lucene version, maybe this affects you, too?

> According to the thread in java-dev 
> (http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/lucene/java-dev/67807 and 
> http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/lucene/java-dev/67839), I want to 
> include my fast numerical range query implementation into lucene 
> contrib-queries.
> I implemented (based on RangeFilter) another approach for faster
> RangeQueries, based on longs stored in index in a special format.
> The idea behind this is to store the longs in different precision in index
> and partition the query range in such a way, that the outer boundaries are
> search using terms from the highest precision, but the center of the search
> Range with lower precision. The implementation stores the longs in 8
> different precisions (using a class called TrieUtils). It also has support
> for Doubles, using the IEEE 754 floating-point "double format" bit layout
> with some bit mappings to make them binary sortable. The approach is used in
> rather big indexes, query times are even on low performance desktop
> computers <<100 ms (!) for very big ranges on indexes with 500000 docs.
> I called this RangeQuery variant and format "TrieRangeRange" query because
> the idea looks like the well-known Trie structures (but it is not identical
> to real tries, but algorithms are related to it).
