Simplicity for beginners can always be layered on top if enough power and flexibility is exposed (my bias). // the first entry is full precision, the remaining entries have less String[] trieCode(long sortableBits) long getSortableBits(long value) long getSortableBits(double value) long getSortableBits(Date date) // example usage: String[] terms = trieCode(getSortableBits(1.4142135d)) This API concentrates on bit manipulation and term generation (Strings) w/o getting into things like Fields and Documents. -Yonik --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: java-dev-unsubscr...@lucene.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: java-dev-h...@lucene.apache.org
