Class SharedFieldSortComparator

java.lang.Object
  org.apache.lucene.search.SortComparator
      org.apache.jackrabbit.core.query.lucene.SharedFieldSortComparator

All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable, org.apache.lucene.search.SortComparatorSource

public class SharedFieldSortComparator

extends org.apache.lucene.search.SortComparator

Implements a SortComparator which knows how to sort on a lucene field that contains values for multiple properties.

Important: The ScoreDocComparator returned by newComparator(org.apache.lucene.index.IndexReader, java.lang.String) does not implement the contract for ScoreDocComparator.sortValue(ScoreDoc) properly. The method will always return an empty String to save memory consumption on large property ranges. Those values are only of relevance when queries are executed with a MultiSearcher, which is currently not the case in Jackrabbit.
