             Summary: MultiSorter#sort incorrectly sort Integer/Long#MIN_VALUE when the natural sort is reversed
                 Key: LUCENE-8592
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-8592
             Project: Lucene - Core
          Issue Type: Bug
            Reporter: Jim Ferenczi


MultiSorter#getComparableProviders on an integer or long field doesn't handle MIN_VALUE correctly when the natural order is reversed. To handle reverse sort we use the negation of the value but there is no check for overflows so MIN_VALUE for ints and longs are always sorted first (even if the natural order is reversed). 
This method is used by index sorting when merging already sorted segments together. This means that a sorted index can be incorrectly sorted if it uses a reverse sort and a missing value set to MIN_VALUE (long or int or values inside the segment that are equals to MIN_VALUE).
This a bad bug because it affects the documents order inside segments and only a reindex can restore the correct sort order.
