Hoss Man commented on LUCENE-819: --------------------------------- Dan: can you elaborate on how you encountered this NPE? ... Terms shouldn't typically have null "text" (I'm trying to understand if you were doing something "Expertish" when this error happened, and modifying compareTo is all that needs to be considered, or if some other code in the core library produced a Term with a null value for text and we need to identify and fix that as well) > NullPointerException in Term.compareTo() > ---------------------------------------- > > Key: LUCENE-819 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-819 > Project: Lucene - Java > Issue Type: Bug > Components: Index > Environment: JDK 1.4 on MacOS > Reporter: Dan Zivkovic > Attachments: lucene-819.patch > > > java.lang.NullPointerException > at org.apache.lucene.index.Term.compareTo(Term.java:84) > at > org.apache.lucene.index.TermInfosReader.getIndexOffset(TermInfosReader.java:115) > at org.apache.lucene.index.TermInfosReader.get(TermInfosReader.java:150) > at org.apache.lucene.index.SegmentReader.docFreq(SegmentReader.java:300) > at org.apache.lucene.search.IndexSearcher.docFreq(IndexSearcher.java:78) > at org.apache.lucene.search.Similarity.idf(Similarity.java:255) > at > org.apache.lucene.search.TermQuery$TermWeight.<init>(TermQuery.java:43) > at org.apache.lucene.search.TermQuery.createWeight(TermQuery.java:142) > at > org.apache.lucene.search.BooleanQuery$BooleanWeight.<init>(BooleanQuery.java:203) > at > org.apache.lucene.search.BooleanQuery$BooleanWeight2.<init>(BooleanQuery.java:330) > at > org.apache.lucene.search.BooleanQuery.createWeight(BooleanQuery.java:372) > at org.apache.lucene.search.Query.weight(Query.java:93) > at org.apache.lucene.search.Hits.<init>(Hits.java:48) > at org.apache.lucene.search.Searcher.search(Searcher.java:53) > ... -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
