## Class HalfFloatPoint

- All Implemented Interfaces:
    IndexableField

      public final class HalfFloatPoint
      extends Field

  An indexed `half-float` field for fast range filters. If you also need to store the value, you should add a separate `StoredField` instance. If you need doc values, you can store them in a `NumericDocValuesField` and use `halfFloatToSortableShort(float)` and `sortableShortToHalfFloat(short)` for encoding/decoding.

  The API takes floats, but they will be encoded to half-floats before being indexed. In case the provided floats cannot be represented accurately as a half float, they will be rounded to the closest value that can be represented as a half float. In case of tie, values will be rounded to the value that has a zero as its least significant bit.

  Finding all documents within an N-dimensional at search time is efficient. Multiple values for the same field in one document is allowed.

  This field defines static factory methods for creating common queries:

  - `newExactQuery(String, float)` for matching an exact 1D point.
  - `newSetQuery(String, float...)` for matching a set of 1D values.
  - `newRangeQuery(String, float, float)` for matching a 1D range.
  - `newRangeQuery(String, float[], float[])` for matching points/ranges in n-dimensional space.

    `PointValues`

      Create a query for matching an exact half-float value. It will be rounded to the closest half-float if `value` cannot be represented accurately as a half-float.

      This is for simple one-dimension points, for multidimensional points use `newRangeQuery(String, float[], float[])` instead.

      Parameters:
        `field` - field name. must not be `null`.
        `value` - half-float value
      Returns:
        a query matching documents with this exact value
      Throws:
        `IllegalArgumentException` - if `field` is null.

    - #### newRangeQuery

          public static Query newRangeQuery(String field,
                                            float lowerValue,
                                            float upperValue)

      Create a range query for half-float values. Bounds will be rounded to the closest half-float if they cannot be represented accurately as a half-float.

      This is for simple one-dimension ranges, for multidimensional ranges use `newRangeQuery(String, float[], float[])` instead.

      You can have half-open ranges (which are in fact </≤ or >/≥ queries) by setting `lowerValue = Float.NEGATIVE_INFINITY` or `upperValue = Float.POSITIVE_INFINITY`.

      Ranges are inclusive. For exclusive ranges, pass `nextUp(lowerValue)` or `nextDown(upperValue)`.

      Range comparisons are consistent with `Float.compareTo(Float)`.

      Parameters:
        `field` - field name. must not be `null`.
        `lowerValue` - lower portion of the range (inclusive).
        `upperValue` - upper portion of the range (inclusive).
      Returns:
        a query matching documents within this range.
      Throws:
        `IllegalArgumentException` - if `field` is null.

    - #### newRangeQuery

          public static Query newRangeQuery(String field,
                                            float[] lowerValue,

      Create a range query for n-dimensional half-float values. Bounds will be rounded to the closest half-float if they cannot be represented accurately as a half-float.

      You can have half-open ranges (which are in fact </≤ or >/≥ queries) by setting `lowerValue[i] = Float.NEGATIVE_INFINITY` or `upperValue[i] = Float.POSITIVE_INFINITY`.

      Ranges are inclusive. For exclusive ranges, pass `nextUp(lowerValue[i])` or `nextDown(upperValue[i])`.

      Range comparisons are consistent with `Float.compareTo(Float)`.

      Parameters:
        `field` - field name. must not be `null`.
        `lowerValue` - lower portion of the range (inclusive). must not be `null`.
        `upperValue` - upper portion of the range (inclusive). must not be `null`.
      Returns:
        a query matching documents within this range.
      Throws:
        `IllegalArgumentException` - if `field` is null, if `lowerValue` is null, if `upperValue` is null, or if `lowerValue.length != upperValue.length`
