CLONE -You cannot sort on fields that don't exist -------------------------------------------------
Key: LUCENE-1631 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-1631 Project: Lucene - Java Issue Type: Bug Components: Search Environment: Operating System: other Platform: Other Reporter: steve neo Assignee: Yonik Seeley Fix For: 1.9 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. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: java-dev-unsubscr...@lucene.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: java-dev-h...@lucene.apache.org
