             Summary: hunspell FLAG LONG implemented incorrectly
                 Key: LUCENE-5824
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-5824
             Project: Lucene - Core
          Issue Type: Bug
            Reporter: Robert Muir


If you have more than 256 flags, you run out of 8-bit characters, so you have 
to use another flag type to get 64k:
* UTF-8: 16-bit BMP flags
* long: two-character flags like 'AB'
* num: decimal numbers like '10234'

But our implementation for 'long' is wrong, it encodes as 'A+B', which means it 
cant distinguish between 'AB' and 'BA' and causes overgeneration.
