Uwe Schindler commented on LUCENE-1712:
---------------------------------------
I think this is simple, we just overload all ctors and factories and remove the
precisionStep there. These methods use NumericUtils.DEFAULT_PRECISION_STEP = 4
then. But thee should be a clear not, to do also tests with other step values.
additional variants:
- NumericField(name), NumericField(name,store,index)
- NumericTokenStream()
- NumericRangeQuery.newXxxRange(field, min, max,...)
I am currentlly not sure (I was thinking the whole time during including into
core) to also make NumericRangeQuery work like the other two classes: generic
Constructor without datatype and then set the range explicit:
{code}
new NumericRangeQuery(fieldname[, precisionStep]).setFloatRange(....)
{code}
Not sure, in this case the API where similar and I have to override only one
ctor for different construction parameters. My only problem is, that Queries
are normally almost everywhere in Lucene static and unmodifable (beyond boost).

> Key: LUCENE-1712
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-1712
> Project: Lucene - Java
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Affects Versions: 2.9
> Reporter: Michael McCandless
> Priority: Minor
> Fix For: 2.9
>
>
> This is a spinoff from LUCENE-1701.
> A user using Numeric* should not need to understand what's
> "under the hood" in order to do their indexing & searching.
> They should be able to simply:
> {code}
> doc.add(new NumericField("price", 15.50);
> {code}
> And have a decent default precisionStep selected for them.
> Actually, if we add ctors to NumericField for each of the supported
> types (so the above code works), we can set the default per-type. I
> think we should do that?
> 4 for int and 6 for long was proposed as good defaults.
> The default need not be "perfect", as advanced users can always
> optimize their precisionStep, and for users experiencing slow
> RangeQuery performance, NumericRangeQuery with any of the defaults we
> are discussing will be much faster.
