Uwe Schindler updated LUCENE-3390:
----------------------------------
Attachment: LUCENE-3390-fix-like-trunk.patch
Here my final fix. The code in the comparator is exactly like trunk, the
NumericComparator superclass was added and the API is now similar to trunk.
Also fixed the remaining TODO.
With this code we break the already broken 3.4 code, but make it similar to
trunk, so migration is easier again. It is unlikely that somebody is affected
by this, in most cases a simple recompilation fixes the problem.
> 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
> Assignee: Doron Cohen
> Priority: Minor
> Labels: double, float, int, long, numeric, sort
> Fix For: 3.4

> 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?
