> If you sort on field X, and it has no docvalues, today it will silently treat
> it as "all values missing". This can be very confusing since it just means
> nothing will happen at all.
> But there is a distinction between "no docs happen to have a value for this
> field" and "field isn't configured correctly". The latter should get an
> exception, telling the user to index docvalues, or wrap the reader with
> UninvertingReader.
