-----------------------------------
Summary: BinaryDocValues inconsistencies
Key: LUCENE-5183
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-5183
Project: Lucene - Core
Issue Type: Bug
Reporter: Robert Muir
Some current inconsistencies:
* Binary/SortedDocValues.EMPTY_BYTES should be removed (BytesRef.EMPTY_BYTES
should be used in its place): FieldCache.getDocsWithField should be used to
determine missing. Thats fine if FC wants to "back" its Bits by some special
placeholder value, but thats its impl detail not part of the API.
* Sorting comparator of Binary should either be removed (is this REALLY
useful?) or should support missingValue(): and it should support this for
SortedDocValues in any case: solr does it, but lucene wont allow it accept for
numerics?!
