http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=29432 Search with sort fails when a document has a missing value Summary: Search with sort fails when a document has a missing value Product: Lucene Version: CVS Nightly - Specify date in submission Platform: PC OS/Version: Linux Status: NEW Severity: Major Priority: Other Component: Search AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Testing on version: lucene-1.4-rc2 Call in question: IndexSearcher.search(Query query, Filter filter, int nDocs, Sort sort) Description: I'm making a call to search with a sort field - in my case I'm sorting by date. If any document in the results set (Hits) has a missing value in the sort field, the entire call throws an [uncaught] exception during the sorting process with no results returned. This is an undesireable result, and the prospects for patching this problem outside the search classes are ugly, e.g. trying to patch the index itself. This is actually a critical function in my application. Thank you for addressing it. -Dan --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
