David Smiley commented on LUCENE-2529:
--------------------------------------
Just to see how the tests fared with your suggestion, I commented out my
"correction" of position from -1 to 0, and instead put in:
assert fieldState.position >= 0 : "LUCENE-1542, pos < 0 doesn't work with
payloads";
Some lucene tests failed:
TestIndexWriter.testNegativePositions
TestPositionIncrement.testSetPosition and testPayloadsPos0
I ran the Solr tests and didn't see failures that had to do with the position.
No synonym failure like you reported.

> Affects Versions: 2.9.3, 3.0.2, 3.1, 4.0

> Fix For: 3.1, 4.0

> 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.
