------------------------------------
Summary: MultiSorter#sort incorrectly sort Integer/Long#MIN_VALUE
when the natural sort is reversed
Key: LUCENE-8592
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-8592
Project: Lucene - Core
Issue Type: Bug
Reporter: Jim Ferenczi
MultiSorter#getComparableProviders on an integer or long field doesn't handle
MIN_VALUE correctly when the natural order is reversed. To handle reverse sort
we use the negation of the value but there is no check for overflows so
MIN_VALUE for ints and longs are always sorted first (even if the natural order
is reversed).
This method is used by index sorting when merging already sorted segments
together. This means that a sorted index can be incorrectly sorted if it uses a
reverse sort and a missing value set to MIN_VALUE (long or int or values inside
the segment that are equals to MIN_VALUE).
This a bad bug because it affects the documents order inside segments and only
a reindex can restore the correct sort order.
