While this condition would be possible to check for, it would lead to some of the same inconsistencies and problems as trying to ban sorting on a field that doesn't exist. Lucene doesn't restrict every field with the same name to be of the same type. Field "foo" may be indexed for some documents and not indexed for others. So we are back in the same situation of not knowing if the query is a bug, or if it's just that no documents with "foo" indexed currently exist in the index, but may in the future or may have in the past. Since Lucene is a search engine rather than a search server, we should strive to keep it as flexible as possible to enable that many more applications to be built on top of it. Once this bug is fixed, I think FieldCacheImpl.java should have only one RuntimeException remaining. -- Configure bugmail: http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug, or are watching the assignee. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
