I'm using Lucene 2.3.2 and have a date field used for sorting, which is YYYYMMDDHHMM. I get an exception when the FieldCache is being generated as follows:

java.lang.NumberFormatException: For input string: "190400-412317"
java.lang.NumberFormatException.forInputString(NumberFormatException.java:48)

org.apache.lucene.search.FieldSortedHitQueue.getCachedComparator(FieldSortedHitQueue.java:168)
org.apache.lucene.search.FieldSortedHitQueue.<init>(FieldSortedHitQueue.java:56)

I'm not able to get onto the server that has the index DB at the moment, but I expect my data is corrupt in the index. That may have been because I have not validated certain data given by a 'trusted' source, however, the problem now is that assuming that data exists as it is, I am then unable to ever sort on the date field.

It maybe that the original data for the Document is no longer available, so deleting and re-creating may not be an option.

Would it be useful to allow some sort of data tolerance when creating these caches? At least now the only solution is to delete that Document. Perhaps the values could then be returned as 0 in the Parser implementations for numeric failures.
