Add byte/short to NumericUtils, NumericField and NumericRangeQuery
------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: LUCENE-1710
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-1710
Project: Lucene - Java
Issue Type: New Feature
Components: Index, Search
Affects Versions: 2.9
Reporter: Uwe Schindler
Assignee: Uwe Schindler
Fix For: 3.1
Although NumericRangeQuery will not profit much from trie-encoding short/byte
fields (byte fields with e.g. precisionStep 8 would only create one precision),
it may be good to have these two data types available with NumericField to be
generally able to store them in prefix-encoded form in index.
This is important for loading them into FieldCache where they require much less
memory.
