I changed the document field to sort it by search, but now it addDocument()throws an exception saying that the field value is null, although I confirmed that when I add the field I get a non-empty string. Before an exception, Lucene gets the code binaryValue()from the field. It is suspicious that the constructor StringFielddoes not accept the custom FieldType type. Can I use string fields to sort? How to fix it?
Lucene 5.3.1
private static final FieldType EMAIL_FIELD_TYPE = new FieldType(StringField.TYPE_STORED);
static
{
EMAIL_FIELD_TYPE.setDocValuesType(DocValuesType.SORTED);
EMAIL_FIELD_TYPE.freeze();
}
...
doc.add(new Field("email", email, EMAIL_FIELD_TYPE));
...
writer.addDocument(doc);
writer.commit();
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: field "email": null value not allowed

EDIT:
this code is used to search:
Query q = new WildcardQuery(new Term("email", "*"));
Sort sort = new Sort(new SortField("email", SortField.Type.STRING));
TopDocs res = searcher.search(q, Integer.MAX_VALUE, sort);
