Robert Muir updated LUCENE-7063:
--------------------------------
Attachment: LUCENE-7063.patch
Here's a patch. I tried to cleanup numericutils and add javadocs and fix naming
of the newer methods (e.g. toSortableBytes and so on).
> NumericUtils vs LegacyNumericUtils chaos with 6.0

>
> 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!
