[jira] Commented: (LUCENE-2669) NumericRangeQuery.NumericRangeTermsEnum sometimes seeks backwards

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-2669?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12915013#action_12915013 ] 

Robert Muir commented on LUCENE-2669:
-------------------------------------

This is a good catch: NRQ should play ping-pong to avoid these unnecessary seeks :)

> Subclasses of FilteredTermsEnum are "supposed to" seek forwards only (this gives better performance, typically).
> However, we don't check for this, so I added an assert to do that (while digging into testing the SimpleText codec) and NumericRangeQuery trips the assert!
> Other MTQs seem not to trip it.
> I think I know what's happening -- say NRQ has term ranges a-c, e-f to seek to, but then while it's .next()'ing through the first range, the first term after c is f.  At this point NRQ sees the range a-c is done, and then tries to seek to term e which is before f.  Maybe NRQ's accept method should detect this case (where you've accidentally .next()'d into or possibly beyond the next one or more seek ranges)?
