Adrien Grand commented on LUCENE-7092:
--------------------------------------
One use-case I have in mind is faceting. Say you are computing range facets on
a numeric field (price, temperature, anything): it is common to have an
inclusive lower bound and an exclusive upper bound so that buckets are
exclusive. Then if you want to refine search results for a specific bucket, you
would have to convert it to a filter, but this would be hard to do today since
there is no easy way to build a point range query that has an exclusive upper
bound?

> Project: Lucene - Core
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Reporter: Adrien Grand
> Priority: Minor
>
> I am playing with using the new points API with elasticsearch and one
> challenge is to generate range queries whose bounds are excluded, which is
> something that was very easy with the previous numerics implementation. It is
> easy to do externally with ints, but becomes tricky with floats or ip
> addresses. Maybe we should have factory methods that take 2 additional
> booleans to allow the bounds to be excluded?
