Points cannot sort. They can only do range queries. So you need to convert your 128 bit BigInts into a sort-order-preserving byte[] (BigIntegerPoint.encodeDimension should do this correctly), and then index that byte[] using a SortedDocValuesField. Mike McCandless http://blog.mikemccandless.com

I think to sort properly you must also ensure all byte[] from those BigIntegers are the same length, and that you sign extend them? Mike McCandless http://blog.mikemccandless.com On Sun, Aug 21, 2016 at 5:50 AM, Cristian Lorenzetto wrote: > I took a look for bigInteger point but i didnt see no

I took a look for bigInteger point but i didnt see no reference for sorting, and SortedNumericDocValuesField accept long not biginteger. I thought to sort so : BigInteger bi = (BigInteger) o; byte[] b = bi.toByteArray(); NumericUtils.bigIntToSortableBytes(bi, BigIntegerPoint.BYTES, b, 0); doc.ad
