{quote}Independent on the selected range the number of terms to be visited is
limited by my algorithm to the number of 3825 = (a maximum of 255 terms in the
lowermost range)(a maximum of 255 terms in the uppermost
range)(255)(255)......+(255 in center of range).{quote}
The code uses a trie factor of 256, or 8 bits in a long of 64 bits.
Would it be possible to use lower values for this trie factor, like 16 (4 bits)
or even 4 (2 bits)?
In such cases the (rough) maximum number of terms for a single ended range
becomes smaller:
(256-1) * (64/8) = 255 * 8 = 2040
(16-1) * (64/4) = 15 * 16 = 240
(4-1) * (64/2) = 3 * 32 = 96
This reduction comes at the cost doubling or quadrupling the number of the
indexed terms in the lower precision field.
The number of characters in the lower precision terms is not really relevant in
the term index, because terms are indexed with common prefixes. Therefore in
these cases one could just use a character to encode the 4 bits or 2 bits.
So the question is would it be possible to specify the trie factor when
building and using the index?

> Key: LUCENE-1470
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-1470
> Project: Lucene - Java
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: contrib/*
> Affects Versions: 2.4
> Reporter: Uwe Schindler
> Assignee: Michael McCandless
> Attachments: LUCENE-1470.patch, LUCENE-1470.patch
>
>
> According to the thread in java-dev
> (http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/lucene/java-dev/67807 and
> http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/lucene/java-dev/67839), I want to
> include my fast numerical range query implementation into lucene
> contrib-queries.
> I implemented (based on RangeFilter) another approach for faster
> RangeQueries, based on longs stored in index in a special format.
> The idea behind this is to store the longs in different precision in index
> and partition the query range in such a way, that the outer boundaries are
> search using terms from the highest precision, but the center of the search
> Range with lower precision. The implementation stores the longs in 8
> different precisions (using a class called TrieUtils). It also has support
> for Doubles, using the IEEE 754 floating-point "double format" bit layout
> with some bit mappings to make them binary sortable. The approach is used in
> rather big indexes, query times are even on low performance desktop
> computers <<100 ms (!) for very big ranges on indexes with 500000 docs.
> I called this RangeQuery variant and format "TrieRangeRange" query because
> the idea looks like the well-known Trie structures (but it is not identical
> to real tries, but algorithms are related to it).
