             Summary: Date boosting losing to constant value in min function when date value is null
                 Key: SOLR-8264
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-8264
             Project: Solr
          Issue Type: Bug
    Affects Versions: 5.3
            Reporter: Charles Draper
            Priority: Minor


I am following https://wiki.apache.org/solr/FunctionQuery#Date_Boosting for date boosting. This works great except when the date field is non-existent and I attempt to set a maximum value. As I understand it, a non-existent date field will default to the start of the epoch for functions. And so the following boost works even though date_s doesn't exist for the particular record:

{code}
recip(ms(NOW/YEAR,date_s),3.16e-11,1,1)
0.021798734 = 1.0/(3.16E-11*float(ms(const(1420070400000),date(date_s)=null))+1.0)
{code}

However, when I try to apply a min function, the constant value is always selected whether it is greater or less than the recip calculation: 

{code}
min(1,recip(ms(NOW/YEAR,date_s),3.16e-11,1,1))
1.0 = min(const(1),1.0/(3.16E-11*float(ms(const(1420070400000),date(date_s)=null))+1.0))
{code}

I am currently getting around the issue by supplying a default value for the field in my schema.xml.
