Only way I see to do this is to get a TermEnum for that field, and grab the first. Then iterate until you find the last one. This is similar behavior to the TermEnum.skipTo method. A better solution would be to record the minimum and maximum dates in the index as you index them. Each time you insert a new date, update the min/max if needed. This data would reside outside the index of course.
