This is failing in an interesting way that might indicate some problem in DateFieldType#fieldType.isFieldWithinQuery.
The test adds some documents with a random long min/max values on a date field to an IndexWriter and then checks some behaviour of "fieldSort.isBottomSortShardDisjoint". This starts failing when e.g. - like in the case above - for example the min value drops below 10000. In this case, deeper down in the date parsing happening under the hood, this value is mis-interpreted as a year (due to the date fields default format "strict_date_optional_time||epoch_millis"), leading to a much larger value.
I think this cannot happen on master anymore because of this fix that skips the parsing when DateFieldType#fieldType.isFieldWithinQuery already sees Long values, but we didn't backport this because it might be considered breaking.
Seeing this test failure now, I think we should think about whether this is something we can simply fix in the test setup or if we need to check isBottomSortShardDisjoint to check the implications.
