[jira] [Created] (LUCENE-5596) Support for index/search large numeric numbers

Kevin Wang created LUCENE-5596:
----------------------------------

             Summary: Support for index/search large numeric numbers
                 Key: LUCENE-5596
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-5596
             Project: Lucene - Core
          Issue Type: New Feature
            Reporter: Kevin Wang


Currently if an number is larger than Long.MAX_VALUE, we can't index/search that in lucene as a number. For example, IPv6 address is an 128 bit number, so we can't index that as a numeric field and do numeric range query etc.

It would be good to support BigInteger / BigDecimal

I've tried use BigInteger for IPv6 in Elasticsearch and that works fine, but there are still lots of things to do
