Warnings needed for sorting on non existant or non indexed fields -----------------------------------------------------------------
Key: LUCENE-459 URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-459 Project: Lucene - Java Type: Bug Components: Search Versions: CVS Nightly - Specify date in submission Environment: Operating System: other Platform: Other Reporter: Daniel Naber Assigned to: Lucene Developers While it's possible to search for fields that don't exist (you'll get 0 hits), you'll get an exception if you try to sort by a field that has no values. The exception is this: if (termEnum.term() == null) { throw new RuntimeException ("no terms in field " + field); } I'll attach a change suggested by Yonik Seeley that removes this exception. Also, the if-condition above is incomplete anyway, so currently the exception is not always thrown (as termEnum .term() might well be != null but point to a term in a different field already) -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
