AFAIK, the main reason is to handle multi-valued fields. The need to sort partially stems from the fact that the Document class does not explicitly handle multi-valued fields. Solr must also sort/hash the Document returned from Lucene because of this lack of ability to represent a field with multiple values. Perhaps this is something that should be fixed in Lucene 3, along with the input/output document issues (documents you get back shouldn't have things like boosts)? -Yonik http://www.lucidimagination.com --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: java-dev-unsubscr...@lucene.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: java-dev-h...@lucene.apache.org
