Tomás Fernández Löbbe commented on SOLR-8396:
---------------------------------------------
bq. i.e. if I went from LongTrieField -> LongPointField (or whatever the naming
is) as proposed in this issue and I hypothetically had index=false but
docValues=true, then is there any real change?
For single value the DV implementation is the same. For MultiValue not. As I
said, the plan now is to change the implementation to SortedNumeric, but if we
decided to keep SortedSet we would probably change the encoding from prefix (in
{{LegacyNumericUtils}}) to the sortable bytes encoding Points use (in
{{NumericUtils}}).
bq. The first time we went through this transition, "int" was renamed to "pint"
in the example schema, and then a new "int" was created to use trie
(numeric)....
Yes, with this patch I would add the "pTYPE" with PointField to the basic
schemas. Once we are comfortable with them we can switch the "TYPE" fields to
use PointFields too, that would be changing the default for Solr (although
there may be more tasks involved there)

> In LUCENE-6917, [~mikemccand] mentioned that DimensionalValues are better
> than NumericFields in most respects. We should explore the benefits of using
> it in Solr and hence, if appropriate, switch over to using them.
