Yep I did switch on stored=true in the field type. I was able to confirm a few
ways that there are values for the eff by two methods:
1) changing desc to asc produced drastically different results.
2) debugging FileFloatSource the following was getting triggered filling the
vals array:
while ((doc = docsEnum.nextDoc()) !=
DocIdSetIterator.NO_MORE_DOCS)
{
vals[doc] = fval;
}
At least by you asking these questions I guess it should work. I will continue
dissecting.
Thanks Erick.
