Robert Muir updated LUCENE-5183:
--------------------------------
Attachment: LUCENE-5183.patch
Here is a patch removing the EMPTY_BYTES. I dont care about BINARY at all, but
this part of the API is bogus and must be removed.
> BinaryDocValues inconsistencies

> Key: LUCENE-5183

> Project: Lucene - Core
> Issue Type: Bug

>
> Some current inconsistencies:
> * Binary/SortedDocValues.EMPTY_BYTES should be removed (BytesRef.EMPTY_BYTES
> should be used in its place): FieldCache.getDocsWithField should be used to
> determine missing. Thats fine if FC wants to "back" its Bits by some special
> placeholder value, but thats its impl detail not part of the API.
> * Sorting comparator of Binary should either be removed (is this REALLY
> useful?) or should support missingValue(): and it should support this for
> SortedDocValues in any case: solr does it, but lucene wont allow it accept
> for numerics?!
