> From the dev list discussion:
> My original post.
> Zero is different from not
> existing. And let's claim that I want to process a stream and, say,
> facet on in integer field over the result set. There's no way on the
> client side to distinguish between a document that has a zero in the
> field and one that didn't have the field in the first place so I'll
> over-count the zero bucket.
> From Dennis Gove:
> Is this true for non-numeric fields as well? I agree that this seems like a
> very bad thing.
> I can't imagine that a fix would cause a problem with Streaming Expressions,
> ParallelSQL, or other given that the /select handler is not returning 0 for
> these missing fields (the /select handler is the default handler for the
> Streaming API so if nulls were a problem I imagine we'd have already seen
> it).
> That said, within Streaming Expressions there is a select(...) function which
> supports a replace(...) operation which allows you to replace one value (or
> null) with some other value. If a 0 were necessary one could use a
> select(...) to replace null with 0 using an expression like this
> select(<stream>, replace(fieldA, null, withValue=0)).
> The end result of that would be that the field fieldA would never have a null
> value and for all tuples where a null value existed it would be replaced with
> 0.
> Details on the select function can be found at
> https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=61330338#StreamingExpressions-select.
> And to answer Denis' question, null gets returned for string DocValues fields.
