NullPointer Exception in MemoryIndex.MemoryIndexReader

[Ricky Pritchett <ri...@gmail.com>]

Greetings,

Version: Lucene 4.1

I'm currently a user of the MemoryIndex, and I've noticed that after
Lucene-4515 patch, I experience NullPointer Exceptions when searching on an
index with a query that has a field that's not in the index.

The NullPointer is thrown at line 1141:

public DocValues normValues(String field) {
      if (fieldInfos.get(field).omitsNorms())  <---- //If fieldInfos
doesn't contain the field then a NullPointer is thrown.
        return null;

Is this expected behavior?

Thanks,

Ricky

This is not expected: the method should return null if the field isn't
in the FieldInfos.

Can you open an issue?  Thanks!
