             Summary: Allow GrowableWriter to store negative values
                 Key: LUCENE-5063
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-5063
             Project: Lucene - Core
          Issue Type: Improvement
            Reporter: Adrien Grand
            Assignee: Adrien Grand
            Priority: Trivial
             Fix For: 4.4


For some use-cases, it would be convenient to be able to store negative values 
in a GrowableWriter, for example to use it in FieldCache: The first term is the 
minimum value and one could use a GrowableWriter to store deltas between this 
minimum value and the current value. (The need for negative values comes from 
the fact that maxValue - minValue might be larger than Long.MAX_VALUE.)
