I got stuck on a problem using NumericFields using with lucene 2.9.3
I add values to the document by doc.add(new NumericField("minprice").setDoubleValue(net_price)); If I want to search with a sorter for this field, I get this error: java.lang.NumberFormatException: Invalid shift value in prefixCoded string (is encoded value really an INT?) at org.apache.lucene.util.NumericUtils.prefixCodedToInt(NumericUtils.java:2 33) at org.apache.lucene.search.FieldCache$8.parseFloat(FieldCache.java:256) at org.apache.lucene.search.FieldCacheImpl$FloatCache.createValue(FieldCach eImpl.java:514) at org.apache.lucene.search.FieldCacheImpl$Cache.get(FieldCacheImpl.java:22 4) at org.apache.lucene.search.FieldCacheImpl.getFloats(FieldCacheImpl.java:48 7) at org.apache.lucene.search.FieldCacheImpl$FloatCache.createValue(FieldCach eImpl.java:504) at org.apache.lucene.search.FieldCacheImpl$Cache.get(FieldCacheImpl.java:22 4) at org.apache.lucene.search.FieldCacheImpl.getFloats(FieldCacheImpl.java:48 7) at org.apache.lucene.search.FieldComparator$FloatComparator.setNextReader(F ieldComparator.java:269) at org.apache.lucene.search.TopFieldCollector$MultiComparatorNonScoringColl ector.setNextReader(TopFieldCollector.java:435) at org.apache.lucene.search.IndexSearcher.search(IndexSearcher.java:257) at org.apache.lucene.search.IndexSearcher.search(IndexSearcher.java:240) at org.apache.lucene.search.IndexSearcher.search(IndexSearcher.java:181) at org.apache.lucene.search.Searcher.search(Searcher.java:90) The Sort field as seen by the debugger: * sort_fields = {org.apache.lucene.search.sortfield...@9010} * [0] = {org.apache.lucene.search.sortfi...@9011}"!" * field = {java.lang.str...@8642}"minprice" * type = 5 * locale = null * reverse = true * factory = null * parser = null * comparatorSource = null * useLegacy = false I run out of ideas what might go wrong. I did look at the index with luke and I do not see anything special. As this happens with the same code on other servers, too, It looks like some kind of programming error. Any hints? Thx Uwe
