             Summary: remove all encode/decode hooks from PointRangeQuery
                 Key: LUCENE-7045
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-7045
             Project: Lucene - Core
          Issue Type: Improvement
            Reporter: Robert Muir


In LUCENE-7043 we added several new point types and just gave them static methods to generate exact/range/prefix/whatever queries.

I think we should do the same in general, e.g. for IntPoint:
{code}
This field defines static factory methods for creating common queries:
<ul>
  <li>{@link #newExactQuery newExactQuery()} for matching an exact 1D point.
  <li>{@link #newRangeQuery newRangeQuery()} for matching a 1D range.
  <li>{@link #newMultiRangeQuery newMultiRangeQuery()} for matching points/ranges in n-dimensional space.
</ul>
{code}

Then each Point can have types that make sense for it: e.g. multi-dimensional range queries don't make sense at all for IP addresses, but prefix query does, and polygon/distance queries make sense for LatLonPoint and so on (that one is not refactored yet here, followup!)
