[jira] Created: (LUCENE-1710) Add byte/short to NumericUtils, NumericField and NumericRangeQuery

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.
