+"numeric skipping logic with competitive missing value":
+  - skip:
+      version: " - 2.12.99"
+      reason: newly added test, supported from 3.0.0
+
+# This test checks if skipping logic is skipped in case missing values are competitive
+# for all numeric type int, long, float, half_float, double, unsigned_long.
+# We are inserting 24 documents with some missing values and giving search after parameter
+# as missing value. The secondary sort field is on id which doesn't have missing value.
+# In case skipping logic is applied in Lucene, it will skipp all documents with primary sort field
+# missing value even though it should list sort by secondary field id with missing value primary field.
+# This test is addressing bugs like here https://github.com/opensearch-project/OpenSearch/issues/9537
