Point field support in Solr is *BRAND NEW*. Very little information is available yet on the Solr implementation. Benchmarks were done at the Lucene level, but I do not know what the numbers were. If any Solr benchmarks were done, which I can't be sure about, I do not know where the results might be. Lucene had Points support long before Solr did. The Lucene developers felt so strongly about the superiority of the Point implementations that they completely deprecated the legacy numeric field classes (which is what Trie classes use) early in the 6.x development cycle, slating them for removal in 7.0. If you wonder about backward compatibility in Solr 7.0 because the Lucene legacy numerics are disappearing, then you've discovered a dilemma that we're facing before the 7.0 release. Thanks, Shawn
