Brad:
1) if you haven't already figured this out, i would suggest emailin the
java-user mailing list. It's got a bigger collection of users who are
familiar with the internals of the Lucnee-Java API (that's the level it
seems like you are having difficulty at)
2) Maybe you mentioned your sorting algorithm in a previous thread, but
i'm not remembering it -- it's possibly this is an XY problem, if you
describe the algorithm you need (or show us the code for your Comparable
impl) we might be able to suggest an efficient way to do this with out any
custom code in Solr...

: I'm trying to get my (overly complex and strange) product IDs sorting
properly in Solr.
:
: Approaches I've tried so far, that I've given up on for various reasons:
: --Normalizing/padding the IDs so they naturally sort
alphabetically/alphanumerically.
: --Splitting the ID into multiple Solr fields and sending a longer,
multi-field sort argument in the GET request.
: --(both of those approaches do work most of the time, but aren't quite
perfect)
:
: However, in another project, I already have a codeComparble/code class
defined in Java that represents a ProductID and does sort them correctly every
time. It's not yet in lucene/solr, though. So I'm trying to make a FieldType
plugin for Solr that uses the existing ProductID class/datatype.
:
: I need some help extending the lucene FieldComparator class. I don't know
much about the rest of the solr / lucene codebase, so I'm fumbling around a
bit, especially with the required setNextReader() method. setNextReader()
looks like it checks the FieldCache to see if this value is there already,
otherwise grabs a bunch of documents from the index. I think I should call
some form of FieldCache.getCustom() for this, but FieldCache.getCustom() itself
accepts a comparator as an argument, and is marked as @deprecated Please
implement FieldComparatorSource directly, instead ... but isn't that what I'm
doing?
:
: So, I'm just a bit confused. Any help? Specifically, any help implementing
a setNextReader() method in a customComparator?
:
: (solr 1.4.1 / lucene 2.9.3)

: Thanks,
: Brad
