This is no problem, you can choose between long, int, double, float and other formats that can be expressed as those (like java.util.Date). This is different from all the tricks with numbers formatted using DecimalFormat and prefix-"0"s. The datatypes are converted into binary sortable ASCII-only strings (not human readable) independent of the sign or type (this is explained in JavaDocs with examples @ http://hudson.zones.apache.org/hudson/job/Lucene-trunk/javadoc/all/org/apach e/lucene/search/trie/package-summary.html). Even floats sort correctly and can be queried on the whole range between -INFINTY and +INFINITY. You must only fix to a type for a field, so if you index as int, you must query as int and so on.
