Michael McCandless commented on LUCENE-2529:
--------------------------------------------
Duh, sorry I meant "I like the idea of disregarding the posIncr of the first
token" (not the posIncrGap).
> always apply position increment gap between values

> I'm doing some fancy stuff with span queries that is very sensitive to term
> positions. I discovered that the position increment gap on indexing is only
> applied between values when there are existing terms indexed for the
> document. I suspect this logic wasn't deliberate, it's just how its always
> been for no particular reason. I think it should always apply the gap
> between fields. Reference DocInverterPerField.java line 82:
> if (fieldState.length > 0)
> fieldState.position +=
> docState.analyzer.getPositionIncrementGap(fieldInfo.name);
> This is checking fieldState.length. I think the condition should simply be:
> if (i > 0).
> I don't think this change will affect anyone at all but it will certainly
> help me. Presently, I can either change this line in Lucene, or I can put in
> a hack so that the first value for the document is some dummy value which is
> wasteful.
