Description

Hey,

I got an "Unexpected docvalues type SORTED_NUMERIC" exception when I perform group facet on an IntPointField. Debugging into the source code, the cause is that internally the docvalue type for PointField is "NUMERIC" (single value) or "SORTED_NUMERIC" (multi value), while the TermGroupFacetCollector class requires the facet field must have a "SORTED" or "SOTRTED_SET" docvalue type: https://github.com/apache/lucene-solr/blob/2480b74887eff01f729d62a57b415d772f947c91/lucene/grouping/src/java/org/apache/lucene/search/grouping/TermGroupFacetCollector.java#L313

 

When I change schema for all int field to TrieIntField, the group facet then work. Since internally the docvalue type for TrieField is SORTED (single value) or SORTED_SET (multi value).

Regarding that the "TrieField" is depreciated in Solr7, please help on this grouping facet issue for PointField. I also commented this issue in SOLR-7495.

 

In addtional, all place of "${solr.tests.IntegerFieldType}" in the unit test files seems to be using the "TrieintField", if change to "IntPointField", some unit tests will fail, for example: https://github.com/apache/lucene-solr/blob/3de0b3671998cc9bc723d10f1b31ce48cbd4fa64/solr/core/src/test/org/apache/solr/request/SimpleFacetsTest.java#L417
