Uwe Schindler commented on LUCENE-1768:
---------------------------------------
bq. As you can see, it seems DateFormat is not very reliable and do not convert
back and forth from date(long) to string format and vice-versa.
I would write the test a little bit different: Use a random number as basis for
the date, then convert to string and back. Throw away the orginal random number
and use the "normalized" number and their string representation only?
This should work better, as I assume SimpleDateFormat always produces same
results for same numbers? But you can still add the sanity check and throw away
random numbers that don't meet the requirement.
Additionally, the millisecond part should always be 000, as you dont use
miliseconds?

> 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.
