That said, I *suspect* a Terms PrefixTree aligned to each byte would offer better query performance, presuming that typical range queries are byte-to-byte (as they would be for IPs?). The Points API internally makes the splitting decision, and it's not customizable. It's blind to how people will realistically query the data; it just wants a balanced tree. For the same reason, I *suspect* (but have not benchmarked to see) that DateRangeField has better query performance than DatePointField. That said, a Points index is probably going to be leaner & faster to index. ~ David On Fri, Mar 23, 2018 at 7:51 PM Mike Cooper <mcoo...@carbonblack.com> wrote: > Thanks David.
