Nicholas Knize commented on LUCENE-7381: ---------------------------------------- +1 to iterate in sandbox. I'll also add {{IntRangeField}}, {{DoubleRangeField}}, and {{LongRangeField}} in a separate issue. And {{GeoBBoxField}} also in another issue. > Add new RangeField > ------------------ > > Key: LUCENE-7381 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-7381 > Project: Lucene - Core > Issue Type: New Feature > Reporter: Nicholas Knize > Attachments: LUCENE-7381.patch, LUCENE-7381.patch, LUCENE-7381.patch, > LUCENE-7381.patch, LUCENE-7381.patch, LUCENE-7381.patch > > > I've been tinkering with a new Point-based {{RangeField}} for indexing > numeric ranges that could be useful for a number of applications. > For example, a single dimension represents a span along a single axis such as > indexing calendar entries start and end time, 2d range could represent > bounding boxes for geometric applications (e.g., supporting Point based geo > shapes), 3d ranges bounding cubes for 3d geometric applications (collision > detection, 3d geospatial), and 4d ranges for space time applications. I'm > sure there's applicability for 5d+ ranges but a first incarnation should > likely limit for performance. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332) --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@lucene.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@lucene.apache.org
