    Description

      When using multiple sort criteria the first criterium that indicates a difference should be used.
      When a field does not exist for a given document, special rules apply.
      From what I see in the code, it is sorted as 0 for integer and float fields, and null Strings are sorted before others.

      This works correctly in both Lucene 1.4.3 and in trunk as long as you use a single IndexSearcher (except perhaps in special cases, see other bug reports like LUCENE-374).

      However, in MultiSearcher and ParallelMultiSearcher, the results of the separate IndexSearchers are merged and there an error occurs.
      The bug is located in FieldDocSortedHitQueue.

      It can even be demonstrated by passing a single indexSearcher to a MultiSearcher.

      TestCase and patch follow.
