Range queries on embedded Date fields won't return the expected results

Searching on a numeric field that was indexed through an @IndexedEmbedded will return each and every document (i.e. the filter won't apply) for a [value TO *] query and will return no document for a [value1 TO value2] query. This happens when using the Hibernate Search DSL to build range queries.

I ran the test case in debug mode, and it seems that the problem starts here when building the query:

The problem is that fieldDescriptor is null for embedded fields, which makes the DSL fall back to some Infinispan-related magic, which doesn't consider Date to be a numeric indexed type. This is why the query becomes a keyword-range query ( ?) instead of a numeric-range query.

I searched around a little, and indeed it seems that this method, which initializes the field descriptors of a type descriptor, doesn't consider embedded fields:

The property descriptors don't include the embedded fields, since they are built that way:

... which won't do since the fieldMetadataSet on propertyMetadata doesn't include embedded fields.

I see two solutions:

1. Either we change the propertyMetadata so that it also includes a embeddedFieldsMetadataSet (and we initialize it, and we use it in createOrMergePropertyDescriptor())
2. OR we change IndexedTypeDescriptorImpl so that, in some way, it uses typeMetadata.getEmbeddedTypeMetadata() in the createAllFieldDescriptors() method.
