Michael McCandless commented on LUCENE-3054:
--------------------------------------------
Also, I think PQ.PostingsAndFreq.compare is still able to return ties, if the
app puts the same term at the same position (which is a silly thing to do...
but, still possible).
I think instead of disambiguating by Term, we should disambiguate by ord (ie,
position of this term in the array of the query itself), since that can never
be the same for entries in the array?
> SorterTemplate.quickSort stack overflows on broken comparators that produce
> only few disticnt values in large arrays

> Looking at Otis's sort problem on the mailing list, he said:
> {noformat}
> * looked for other places where this call is made - found it in
> MultiPhraseQuery$MultiPhraseWeight and changed that call from
> ArrayUtil.quickSort to ArrayUtil.mergeSort
> * now we no longer see SorterTemplate.quickSort in deep recursion when we do a
> thread dump
> {noformat}
> I thought this was interesting because PostingsAndFreq's comparator
> looks like it needs a tiebreaker.
> I think in our sorts we should add some asserts to try to catch some of these
> broken comparators.
