-----------------------------------
Assignee: Doron Cohen
> Incorrect sort by Numeric values for documents missing the sorting field
> ------------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: LUCENE-3390
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-3390
> Project: Lucene - Java
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: core/search
> Affects Versions: 3.3
> Reporter: Gilad Barkai
> Assignee: Doron Cohen
> Priority: Minor
> Labels: double, float, int, long, numeric, sort
> Attachments: LUCENE-3390.patch, SortByDouble.java
>
>
> While sorting results over a numeric field, documents which do not contain a value for
the sorting field seem to get 0 (ZERO) value in the sort. (Tested against Double, Float, Int
& Long numeric fields ascending and descending order).
> This behavior is unexpected, as zero is "comparable" to the rest of the values. A better
solution would either be allowing the user to define such a "non-value" default, or always
bring those document results as the last ones.
> Example scenario:
> Adding 3 documents, 1st with value 3.5d, 2nd with -10d, and 3rd without any value.
> Searching with MatchAllDocsQuery, with sort over that field in descending order yields
the docid results of 0, 2, 1.
> Asking for the top 2 documents brings the document without any value as the 2nd result
- which seems as a bug?
