PointValues (Lucene 6.2.1 API)

java.lang.Object
- org.apache.lucene.index.PointValues

Direct Known Subclasses:

PointsReader
```
public abstract class PointValues
extends Object
```
Access to indexed numeric values.
Points represent numeric values and are indexed differently than ordinary text. Instead of an inverted index, points are indexed with datastructures such as KD-trees. These structures are optimized for operations such as range, distance, nearest-neighbor, and point-in-polygon queries.
Basic Point Types

Java type Lucene class

int IntPoint

long LongPoint

float FloatPoint

double DoublePoint

byte[] BinaryPoint

BigInteger BigIntegerPoint*

InetAddress InetAddressPoint*

* in the lucene-sandbox jar

Basic Lucene point types behave like their java peers: for example IntPoint represents a signed 32-bit Integer, supporting values ranging from Integer.MIN_VALUE to Integer.MAX_VALUE, ordered consistent with Integer.compareTo(Integer). In addition to indexing support, point classes also contain static methods (such as IntPoint.newRangeQuery(String, int, int)) for creating common queries. For example:
```
   // add year 1970 to document
   document.add(new IntPoint("year", 1970));
   // index document
   writer.addDocument(document);
   ...
   // issue range query of 1960-1980
   Query query = IntPoint.newRangeQuery("year", 1960, 1980);
   TopDocs docs = searcher.search(query, ...);
 
```
Geospatial Point Types
Although basic point types such as DoublePoint support points in multi-dimensional space too, Lucene has specialized classes for location data. These classes are optimized for location data: they are more space-efficient and support special operations such as distance and polygon queries. There are currently two implementations:
1. LatLonPoint in lucene-sandbox: indexes (latitude,longitude) as (x,y) in two-dimensional space.
2. Geo3DPoint* in lucene-spatial3d: indexes (latitude,longitude) as (x,y,z) in three-dimensional space.
* does not support altitude, 3D here means "uses three dimensions under-the-hood"

Advanced usage
Custom structures can be created on top of single- or multi- dimensional basic types, on top of BinaryPoint for more flexibility, or via custom Field subclasses.
WARNING: This API is experimental and might change in incompatible ways in the next release.
