Hi all,

I am trying to use the IntRangeField Field of Lucene, because I found it very 
usefull for me in my use-case.
So at indexing time, I use the IntRangeField(String name, final int[] min, 
final int[] max) constructor with only 1 dimension on min and max and the name 
of my field.
At searching time, I create my own BooleanQuery in which I add an 
newIntersectsQuery(String field, final int[] min, final int[] max).

It's not a field I use in all documents, but 10-15% of my documents contains it 
I think.
The problem is that using that, when searching, I have an NPE with the current 
Stacktrace:
java.lang.NullPointerException

                ...

As I inspect the code, I found that it's the scoring on Range which was 
throwing that. In RangeFieldQuery, I found (Line 165):
FieldInfo fieldInfo = reader.getFieldInfos().fieldInfo(field);
if (fieldInfo == null) {
   // no docs in this segment indexed this field
}
checkFieldInfo(fieldInfo);

In my case, I may have no Document with this field in my segment (which can be 
true because I don't have much Documents with this field) as the comment said, 
but the code tries to check the info afterwards on a null fieldInfo.

Did I missed something on my part of the code to solve this issue?
I would be grateful for any help!

Regards,

Jerome
