You hold

S – AK8743
H – J64
D – Void
C - 9754

You are in fourth seat. No one vul.

RHO opens 1 club, you try 2S
DBL by LHO.
RHO bids 3D
LHO bids 3H, all pass.

Partner leads the spade jack.
Dummy is

S – T965
H – 5
D – AQT8
C – KQJ6

You win the King, and return the spade 8. Partner ruffs with the heart 3, and returns the diamond 8. Declarer plays the Ace, and you ruff. You now play the spade Ace, declarer ruffs with the heart 7, partner over ruffs with the 8. Partner cashes the Diamond King, the Club Ace, and leads a third diamond, which you ruff. You lead a fourth spade, declarer playing the heart 9, and partner over ruffs with the ten. A fourth round of diamonds allows you to score your heart Jack, and another spade allows partner to score their Heart King. Down six.

Should someone have doubled??

Please do not complain about my opinion. I don't have the time to convince you I'm right.

Depending on how good or bad r 2 Sp overcall can be, if anybody has to X it is r pd. But only reason this defends so nice is r void in D and he can't X on that even tho with his length he can see r short. Just one of them hands, in MP's X a lot easier.
