Allow default sort order ------------------------ Key: SOLR-99 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-99 Project: Solr Issue Type: Improvement Components: search Affects Versions: 1.2 Reporter: Ryan McKinley Priority: Minor Fix For: 1.2 Attachments: DefaultSortOrder.patch
The current search throws an "ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException" if you specify a sort field but do not include an order. This is anoying and difficult to debug (when you are starting) Here is a patch to avoid the exception and use the default sort order if you only specify a field. I'm not sure the 'null' case was even possible in the current code: Index: QueryParsing.java =================================================================== --- QueryParsing.java (revision 494681) +++ QueryParsing.java (working copy) @@ -186,13 +186,12 @@ } // get the direction of the sort - str=parts[pos]; - if ("top".equals(str) || "desc".equals(str)) { - top=true; - } else if ("bottom".equals(str) || "asc".equals(str)) { - top=false; - } else { - return null; // must not be a sort command + // by default, top is true, only change it if it is "bottom" or "asc" + if( parts.length > pos ) { + str=parts[pos]; + if ("bottom".equals(str) || "asc".equals(str)) { + top=false; + } } -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: https://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
