[jira] [Created] (LUCENE-7043) add BigIntegerPoint and InetAddressPoint to sandbox

Robert Muir created LUCENE-7043:
-----------------------------------

             Summary: add BigIntegerPoint and InetAddressPoint to sandbox
                 Key: LUCENE-7043
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-7043
             Project: Lucene - Core
          Issue Type: Improvement
            Reporter: Robert Muir


We can now index 128-bit quantities, but still, making Fields for these is a bit of work: you have to do some numericutils sign-extension/sign-flipping magic for BigInteger quantities, deal with ipv4-mapped ipv6 addresses, etc.

We can just provide some simple field types that also have static factory methods for exact match/ranges.

The BigIntegerPoint is N-dimensional, so acts just like any other primitive, except its bigger (e.g. long long).

InetAddressPoint is 1-dimensional by nature: of course you can have multiple values per field, thats different. Since we prefix-compress values, we can just map IPv4 addresses to IPv6 space and it works for both types. This is consistent with what InetAddress does itself anyway.
