Robert Muir commented on LUCENE-5222: ------------------------------------- Ok, thats definitely the issue: the problem is that when using an Executor, IndexSearcher searches each segment and then merges the results with a FakeScorer. it has a special hack for this case where it actually ignores the boolean options you set, if the sort itself contains a relevance comparator: {code} doDocScores || sort.needsScores() {code} The current implementation is {code} /** Whether the relevance score is needed to sort documents. */ boolean needsScores() { for (SortField sortField : fields) { if (sortField.getType() == SortField.Type.SCORE) { return true; } } return false; } {code} So in the case of the expression sortfield (or any other similar sortfield), the hack does not work of course, because its a CUSTOM sortfield. So I think we should change this hack to call SortField.needsScores() ? This way if someone has a custom one, they can just return true here and all this works. I will make a stab at a patch. > TestExpressionSorts fails sometimes when using expression returning score > ------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: LUCENE-5222 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-5222 > Project: Lucene - Core > Issue Type: Bug > Reporter: Ryan Ernst > > Jenkins picked this up.
