Terence, still had not not time to prepare a test case, but... I worked around it:
The idea is to replace the score with timestamp on populating hits (in case You are not interesting too much in real score), where the field_sort is in "yyyyMMddHHmm" etc. format. Works fine, at least no outOfMemory crush until now. public TopDocs search(Query query, Filter filter, final int nDocs, final String field_sort) throws IOException { Scorer scorer = query.weight(this).scorer(reader); if (scorer == null) return new TopDocs(0, new ScoreDoc[0]); final BitSet bits = filter != null ? filter.bits(reader) : null; final HitQueue hq = new HitQueue(nDocs); final int[] totalHits = new int[1]; scorer.score(new HitCollector() { public final void collect(int doc, float score) { // this bloody piece of code fakes scorer to deliver results sorted by date // because valid way runs into outOfMemory problem:( JGO 2004/08/31 // note: modules touched - // Searcher,Searchable,Hits,ParallelMultiSearcher,MultiSearcher,RemoteSearchable (these for new field field_sort) // ScoreDoc, FieldSortedHitQueue,Hits,FieldScore (these for float -> double) double new_score = score; String fval=""; if (field_sort!=null){ //if null, just sort as usual by real score try { new_score= new Double("0."+reader.document(doc).get(field_sort)+"d").doubleValue(); } catch (IOException e) { e.printStackTrace(); } } if (score > 0.0f && // ignore zeroed buckets (bits==null || bits.get(doc))) { // skip docs not in bits totalHits[0]++; hq.insert(new ScoreDoc(doc, new_score)); } } }); ScoreDoc[] scoreDocs = new ScoreDoc[hq.size()]; for (int i = hq.size()-1; i >= 0; i--) // put docs in array scoreDocs[i] = (ScoreDoc)hq.pop(); return new TopDocs(totalHits[0], scoreDocs); } Hi Iouli, Sorry, I am having a very tight schedule at work right now. I don't have time to come up the test case. The problem is really related to the search(query,sort) method call. If you can come up the test case, that would be great.
