I want to know if this is supposed to be a legal thing to do with lucene: I indexed some files into index 1 that had fields x, y, and z.
I indexed some files into a index 2 that had fields x, y, q. I used a multisearcher on the two indexes, and search for things like q:term So far, this all works. However, if I search for q:ter* lucene throws an exception. Specifically: Opening index: /people/medinf1/projects/vocabulary/CNI/test/prototype/index...done Opening index: /people/medinf1/projects/vocabulary/CNI/test/prototype/index2...done Enter query: q:mit* java.lang.NullPointerException at org.apache.lucene.index.SegmentTermEnum.clone(Unknown Source) at org.apache.lucene.index.TermInfosReader.terms(Unknown Source) at org.apache.lucene.index.SegmentReader.terms(Unknown Source) at org.apache.lucene.search.PrefixQuery.getQuery(Unknown Source) at org.apache.lucene.search.PrefixQuery.sumOfSquaredWeights(Unknown Source) at org.apache.lucene.search.BooleanQuery.sumOfSquaredWeights(Unknown Source) at org.apache.lucene.search.Query.scorer(Unknown Source) at org.apache.lucene.search.IndexSearcher.search(Unknown Source) at org.apache.lucene.search.MultiSearcher.search(Unknown Source) at org.apache.lucene.search.Hits.getMoreDocs(Unknown Source) at org.apache.lucene.search.Hits.<init>(Unknown Source) at org.apache.lucene.search.Searcher.search(Unknown Source) at org.apache.lucene.search.Searcher.search(Unknown Source) at edu.mayo.mir.cni.search.SearchTest.commandLineTest(SearchTest.java:82) at edu.mayo.mir.cni.search.SearchTest.main(SearchTest.java:175) Should I be able to do this? If so, I'll grab a copy of the newest release of lucene (I'm using 1.2 beta 1 now I think) and see if it still happens. I'll try to write up a self contained bug test too, but I'm not sure I'll be able to do that for a couple of days.
