Mark Miller reopened LUCENE-1748: --------------------------------- > getPayloadSpans on org.apache.lucene.search.spans.SpanQuery should be abstract > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ > > Key: LUCENE-1748 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-1748 > Project: Lucene - Java > Issue Type: Bug > Components: Query/Scoring > Affects Versions: 2.4, 2.4.1 > Environment: all > Reporter: Hugh Cayless > Assignee: Mark Miller > Fix For: 2.9 > > Attachments: LUCENE-1748.patch, LUCENE-1748.patch > > > I just spent a long time tracking down a bug resulting from upgrading to > Lucene 2.4.1 on a project that implements some SpanQuerys of its own and was > written against 2.3. Since the project's SpanQuerys didn't implement > getPayloadSpans, the call to that method went to SpanQuery.getPayloadSpans > which returned null and caused a NullPointerException in the Lucene code, far > away from the actual source of the problem. > It would be much better for this kind of thing to show up at compile time, I > think. > Thanks! -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: java-dev-unsubscr...@lucene.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: java-dev-h...@lucene.apache.org
