Doron Cohen commented on LUCENE-3390:
-------------------------------------
I think it may be useful to solve this also in 3x - without the
cached-array-creators of the trunk, but with similar concept - i.e. an
additional cache "type" will cache the docs missing values for certain field,
and will allow to use the default value assigned by apps calling
setMissingValue() as in trunk. Gilad and I looked at this, will post a patch
shortly for review...
> Incorrect sort by Numeric values for documents missing the sorting field
> ------------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: LUCENE-3390
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-3390
> Project: Lucene - Java
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: core/search
> Affects Versions: 3.3
> Reporter: Gilad Barkai
> Priority: Minor
> Labels: double, float, int, long, numeric, sort
> Attachments: SortByDouble.java
>
>
> While sorting results over a numeric field, documents which do not contain a
> value for the sorting field seem to get 0 (ZERO) value in the sort. (Tested
> against Double, Float, Int & Long numeric fields ascending and descending
> order).
> This behavior is unexpected, as zero is "comparable" to the rest of the
> values. A better solution would either be allowing the user to define such a
> "non-value" default, or always bring those document results as the last ones.
> Example scenario:
> Adding 3 documents, 1st with value 3.5d, 2nd with -10d, and 3rd without any
> value.
> Searching with MatchAllDocsQuery, with sort over that field in descending
> order yields the docid results of 0, 2, 1.
> Asking for the top 2 documents brings the document without any value as the
> 2nd result - which seems as a bug?
