> When implementing the new TrieRangeQuery for contrib (LUCENE-1470), I was
> confronted by the problem that the special trie-encoded values (which are
> longs in a special encoding) cannot be sorted by Searcher.search() and
> SortField. The problem is: If you use SortField.LONG, you get
> NumberFormatExceptions. The trie encoded values may be sorted using
> SortField.String (as the encoding is in such a way, that they are sortable as
> Strings), but this is very memory ineffective.
> ExtendedFieldCache gives the possibility to specify a custom LongParser when
> retrieving the cached values. But you cannot use this during searching,
> because there is no possibility to supply this custom LongParser to the
> SortField.
> I propose a change in the sort classes:
> Include a pointer to the parser instance to be used in SortField (if not
> given use the default). My idea is to create a SortField using a new
> constructor
> {code}SortField(String field, int type, Object parser, boolean reverse){code}
> The parser is "object" because all current parsers have no super-interface.
> The ideal solution would be to have:
> {code}SortField(String field, int type, FieldCache.Parser parser, boolean
> reverse){code}
> and FieldCache.Parser is a super-interface (just empty, more like a
> marker-interface) of all other parsers (like LongParser...). The sort
> implementation then must be changed to respect the given parser (if not
> NULL), else use the default FieldCache.getXXXX without parser.
