-----------------------------------
Summary: NumericUtils vs LegacyNumericUtils chaos with 6.0
Key: LUCENE-7063
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-7063
Project: Lucene - Core
Issue Type: Bug
Reporter: Robert Muir
Old prefix-coded terms helper functions are still available in
LegacyNumericUtils, but its confusing when upgrading because NumericUtils and
LegacyNumericUtils have overlaps in the APIs.
One issue is they share some exact methods that are completely unrelated to
this encoding (e.g. floatToSortableInt). The method is just duplication and
worst, most lucene code is still calling it from LegacyNumericUtils, even stuff
like faceting code using it with docvalues.
Another issue is the new NumericUtils methods (which use full byte range) have
vague names, no javadocs, expose helper methods as public unnecessarily, and
cause general confusion.
I don't think NumericUtils and LegacyNumericUtils should overlap.
LegacyNumericUtils should only contain legacy stuff!
