Range Query on a language specific field

[Manohar Sripada <ma...@gmail.com>]

I have a requirement where I need to be able to query on a field (say
"salary"). This field contains data in Chinese.

Is it possible in Solr to do a range query on this field? Is there any
language specific Analyzer that I could use on this field to achieve range
search?

Salary would normally be a numeric field, with no tokenization or filtering.

For a range query on a non-numeric field the ordering will be lexical on
individual terms, and typically Chinese text is tokenized into
two-character terms. Sure, you can technically do a range query like that,
but I'm not sure how useful it will be.
