Convert BytesRef to long in Solr 6.2

["Osborn, Kevin" <Ke...@pgi.com>]

I have the following code inside a Solr post filter.


SortedDocValues docValues = DocValues.getSortedSet(context.reader, "my_field");

long x = LegacyNumericUtils.prefixCodedToLong(docValues.lookupOrd(b))


I am in the process of upgrading from Solr 5.5 to 6.2, so I changed NumericUtils to LegacyNumericUtils.


Basically, I am taking the BytesRef from a field and extracting the long from it.


However, LegacyNumericUtils is the deprecated form of NumericUtils. It says that I should use the PointValues class instead. However, unless I am missing something, it does not seem to support converting BytesRef to long/int/etc.


Is there a better method to do this? I would rather not deprecated code.

correct -- that's a general lucene level deprecation warning encouraging 
existing applicatons using NumericUtils to change to use PointsField  
at index time -- Solr does not yet support points field, so switching your 
code to use LegacyNumericUtils is appropriate at this point.
