## Class FloatDocValuesField

- java.lang.Object
- - org.apache.lucene.document.Field
  - - org.apache.lucene.document.NumericDocValuesField
    - - org.apache.lucene.document.FloatDocValuesField

- All Implemented Interfaces:
    `IndexableField`

      public class FloatDocValuesField
      extends NumericDocValuesField

  Syntactic sugar for encoding floats as NumericDocValues via `Float.floatToRawIntBits(float)`.

  Per-document floating point values can be retrieved via `LeafReader.getNumericDocValues(String)`.

  NOTE: In most all cases this will be rather inefficient, requiring four bytes per document. Consider encoding floating point values yourself with only as much precision as you require.
