Multivalued property sorted incorrectly
---------------------------------------
Key: JCR-2906
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JCR-2906
Project: Jackrabbit Content Repository
Issue Type: Bug
Components: jackrabbit-core
Affects Versions: 2.2.0
Environment: Windows 7, Sun JDK 1.6.0_23
Reporter: Paul Lysak
Sorting on multivalued property may produce incorrect result because sorting is
performed only by last value of multivalued property.
Steps to reproduce:
1. Create multivalued field in repository. Example from nodetypes file:
<propertyDefinition name="MyProperty" requiredType="String" autoCreated="false"
mandatory="false"
onParentVersion="COPY" protected="false" multiple="false">
2. Create few records so that all records except one would contain single value
for MyProperty and one record would contain
first value which is greater then of any other record and the second value is
somewhere in the middle. Here is an example:
1st record: "aaaa"
2nd record: "cccc"
3rd record: "dddd", "bbbb"
3. Run some query which sorts Example of XPath query:
//*[...here are some criteria...] order by @MyProperty ascending
The query would return documents in such order:
"aaaa"
"dddd", "bbbb"
"cccc"
which is not expected order (expected same order as they were entered - as
"aaaa" < "cccc", "cccc" < "dddd")
After some digging I found out that it happens because method
org.apache.jackrabbit.core.query.lucene.SharedFieldCache.getValueIndex
(called from
org.apache.jackrabbit.core.query.lucene.SharedFieldSortComparator.SimpleScoreDocComparator
constructor)
returns only last Comparable of the document. Here is overwrites previous value:
retArray[termDocs.doc()] = getValue(value, type);
I tried to concatenate comparables (just to check if it would work for my case):
if(retArray[termDocs.doc()] == null) {
retArray[termDocs.doc()] = getValue(value, type);
} else {
retArray[termDocs.doc()] =
retArray[termDocs.doc()] + " " +
getValue(value, type);
}
But it didn't worked well either - TermEnum returns terms not in the same order
as JackRabbit returns values of multivalued field
(as an example ["qwer", "asdf"] may become ["asdf", "qwer"] ). So, simple
concatenation doesn't help.
