[jira] Updated: (LUCENE-2671) Add sort missing first/last ability to SortField and ValueComparator

["Ryan McKinley (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

     [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-2671?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Ryan McKinley updated LUCENE-2671:
----------------------------------

    Attachment: LUCENE-2671-suppress-unchecked.patch

here is a patch that ignores all the unchecked casts
{code:java}
 @SuppressWarnings("unchecked")
{code}

I don't think there is any way around this for the current design -- in LUCENE-2665, the cache would directly use the generic map, but for the baby step it needs a cast.

The issues is that we have:
{code:java}
private Map<Class<?>,Cache> caches;
{code}

and really need to be able to define something like:
{code:java}
private Map<Class<X>,Cache<? extends X>> caches;
{code}
where X depends on what you put into the map...  but that is not possible as far as I know.

I would commit this, but the build is failing for other reasons....

> When SortField and ValueComparator use EntryCreators (from LUCENE-2649) they use a special sort value when the field is missing.
> This enables lucene to implement 'sort missing last' or 'sort missing first' for numeric values from the FieldCache.
