-----------------------------------
Summary: add BigIntegerPoint and InetAddressPoint to sandbox
Key: LUCENE-7043
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-7043
Project: Lucene - Core
Issue Type: Improvement
Reporter: Robert Muir
We can now index 128-bit quantities, but still, making Fields for these is a
bit of work: you have to do some numericutils sign-extension/sign-flipping
magic for BigInteger quantities, deal with ipv4-mapped ipv6 addresses, etc.
We can just provide some simple field types that also have static factory
methods for exact match/ranges.
The BigIntegerPoint is N-dimensional, so acts just like any other primitive,
except its bigger (e.g. long long).
InetAddressPoint is 1-dimensional by nature: of course you can have multiple
values per field, thats different. Since we prefix-compress values, we can just
map IPv4 addresses to IPv6 space and it works for both types. This is
consistent with what InetAddress does itself anyway.
