Sorting of search results can fail
----------------------------------
Key: LUCENE-2775
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-2775
Project: Lucene - Java
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Search
Affects Versions: 3.0.1
Reporter: Kevin Hayen
When retrieving long values for sorting via the createValue method of the
LongCache class in FieldCacheImpl.java, there are cases where there are terms
for a given field that are not longs. These values have no documents
associated with them so they can be safely ignored. The problem is that if the
value could not be parsed into a long, as was my case, then an exception is
thrown and the value 0 is returned for all documents. This causes the sort to
fail.
In my case the offending value was "0-73080000". I do not know how that got
into the index and as such, have no way of reproducing this bug.
The solution was to simply catch the exception and move on to the next term
without bailing out of the sort.
