Yoann Rodière ( https://hibernate.atlassian.net/secure/ViewProfile.jspa?accountId=557058%... ) *commented* on HSEARCH-3839 ( https://hibernate.atlassian.net/browse/HSEARCH-3839?atlOrigin=eyJpIjoiNWQ... ) Re: Sorting by numeric value has an exception "(expected=NUMERIC). Use UninvertingReader or index with docvalues" ( https://hibernate.atlassian.net/browse/HSEARCH-3839?atlOrigin=eyJpIjoiNWQ... ) If the problem is just that too many values are considered during the sort, I'd recommend that you submit a PR first and that we create a follow-up ticket to address this as a separate issue. From what I understand, Elasticsearch has a dedicated feature for that ( https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/search-re... ) , and this will likely require extensive testing if we re-implement it in Hibernate Search. Let's address one problem at a time?
