-----------------------------------------

Hi folks, 

I'm PhD student from Croatia willing to participate in GSoC this year. I work 
in Croatian firm called Superius Ltd on software modelling based on graph 
database (Neo4J to be concrete). This issue here sounds like a nice addition to 
Lucene that would help us also make queries that are needed over our business 
data contained in graph (indexed by Lucene). I was wondering whether is this 
project still open for GSoC or already assigned to someone?

Thank you!

> It would be good to specify some type of "schema" for the query parser in 
> future, to automatically create NumericRangeQuery for different numeric 
> types? It would then be possible to index a numeric value 
> (double,float,long,int) using NumericField and then the query parser knows, 
> which type of field this is and so it correctly creates a NumericRangeQuery 
> for strings like "[1.567..*]" or "(1.787..19.5]".
> There is currently no way to extract if a field is numeric from the index, so 
> the user will have to configure the FieldConfig objects in the ConfigHandler. 
> But if this is done, it will not be that difficult to implement the rest.
> The only difference between the current handling of RangeQuery is then the 
> instantiation of the correct Query type and conversion of the entered numeric 
> values (simple Number.valueOf(...) cast of the user entered numbers). 
> Evenerything else is identical, NumericRangeQuery also supports the MTQ 
> rewrite modes (as it is a MTQ).
> Another thing is a change in Date semantics. There are some strange flags in 
> the current parser that tells it how to handle dates.
