## What Enable range queries and TopN sorting on `Bytes` fast fields, bringing them to parity with `Str` fields. ## Why `BytesColumn` uses the same dictionary encoding as `StrColumn` internally, but range queries and TopN sorting were explicitly disabled for `Bytes`. This prevented use cases like storing lexicographically sortable binary data (e.g., arbitrary-precision decimals) that need efficient range filtering. ## How 1. **Enable range queries for Bytes** - Changed `is_type_valid_for_fastfield_range_query()` to return `true` for `Type::Bytes` 2. **Add BytesColumn handling in scorer** - Added a branch in `FastFieldRangeWeight::scorer()` to handle bytes fields using dictionary ordinal lookup (mirrors the existing `StrColumn` logic) 3. **Add SortByBytes** - New sort key computer for TopN queries on bytes columns ## Tests - `test_bytes_field_ff_range_query` - Tests inclusive/exclusive bounds and unbounded ranges - `test_sort_by_bytes_asc` / `test_sort_by_bytes_desc` - Tests lexicographic ordering in both directions
