[jira] [Created] (SOLR-2935) Better docs for numeric FieldTypes

Better docs for numeric FieldTypes
----------------------------------

                 Key: SOLR-2935
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-2935
             Project: Solr
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: documentation
            Reporter: Hoss Man
            Assignee: Hoss Man


It was recently pointed out to me that if you don't come from a java background, understanding the range of legal values for "TrieIntField" vs "TrieLongField" may not be obvious to you (particularly if you are use to dealing with databases that have INT, SMALLINT, TINYINT, etc... with UNSIGNED vs SIGNED modifiers).  That subsequently made me realize that to this day the javadocs for the various FieldTypes don't explain the diff between the TrieFoo, SortableFoo, and Foo field types.

(FYI: As someone who has never even remotely understood the point of the BCD*Field classes, I left those docs blank).
