[jira] Commented: (LUCENE-1712) Set default precisionStep for NumericField and NumericRangeFilter

["Uwe Schindler (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-1712?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12722831#action_12722831 ] 

Uwe Schindler commented on LUCENE-1712:
---------------------------------------

Should be:

{code}
doc.add(new NumericField("price").setFloatValue(15.50f));
{code}

With a direct constructor, there would be the problem of missing data type information.

> 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.
