Hallo Daniel, I am not really sure what you are talking about (what is LuceneUtils?).
To your question about NumericField: NumericField is only used for indexing. If you also store the field to retrieve it from the index e.g. with search results, NumericField creates a stored Field containing the number as a conventional string (the special trie encoding is only used for *indexing* not *storing*). If you call getField() it returns a standard Field containg the number as String. ----- Uwe Schindler H.-H.-Meier-Allee 63, D-28213 Bremen http://www.thetaphi.de eMail: u...@thetaphi.de > -----Original Message----- > From: Daniel Shane [mailto:sha...@lexum.umontreal.ca] > Sent: Friday, September 11, 2009 9:01 PM > To: java-dev@lucene.apache.org > Subject: NumericRange Field and LuceneUtils? > > Is it normal that LuceneUtils.getString(Document document, String > fieldName) uses document.getField() in the background? > > If, for example, you indexed something using the new NumericRange field, > then you will get a class cast exception in there. > > Would it not be better to call getFieldable() instead of getField()? > > Daniel Shane > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > To unsubscribe, e-mail: java-dev-unsubscr...@lucene.apache.org > For additional commands, e-mail: java-dev-h...@lucene.apache.org --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: java-dev-unsubscr...@lucene.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: java-dev-h...@lucene.apache.org
