Yonik Seeley commented on LUCENE-459: ------------------------------------- I cloned the bug since generation of warnings is really a separate issue. > 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 > Assignee: 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]
