Thanks Ian
Unfortunately, I have to index any possible number of java.math.BigDecimal
I can rephrase my question this way:
How can I convert java.math.BigDecimal numbers in to string
for its storing in lexicographical order

Hi
Lucene only indexes strings. The standard advice for numeric is to
pad to desired width with leading zeros, if likely to be used in range
searches. How varied are the numbers you're going to be working with?
I only work with stuff with 2 decimal places and tend to lose that.
e.g.
2.22 would be indexed as 000222
0.99 ... 000099
And of course go through the same conversion when searching.
But if you've got variable numbers of decimal places it might get more
interesting.
