NumericRangeQuery.NumericRangeTermsEnum sometimes seeks backwards
-----------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: LUCENE-2669
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-2669
             Project: Lucene - Java
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Search
            Reporter: Michael McCandless
             Fix For: 3.1, 4.0


Subclasses of FilteredTermsEnum are "supposed to" seek forwards only (this 
gives better performance, typically).

However, we don't check for this, so I added an assert to do that (while 
digging into testing the SimpleText codec) and NumericRangeQuery trips the 
assert!

Other MTQs seem not to trip it.

I think I know what's happening -- say NRQ has term ranges a-c, e-f to seek to, 
but then while it's .next()'ing through the first range, the first term after c 
is f.  At this point NRQ sees the range a-c is done, and then tries to seek to 
term e which is before f.  Maybe NRQ's accept method should detect this case 
(where you've accidentally .next()'d into or possibly beyond the next one or 
more seek ranges)?
