For type "double" in the example schema, they are stored exactly as
given (text values), so don't try range queries.

For "sdouble", see the NumberUtils class.  The bits of the double are
grabbed as a long, then manipulated so it will sort correctly as a
signed long, and then chopped into chars that will UTF8 encode
correctly (avoid range involving UTF16 surrogates).

Not currently.  Lucene doesn't have this functionality, and thus Solr
doesn't either.  You have to add the complete document again.
