Robert Muir commented on LUCENE-6308:
-------------------------------------
Alan is correct. Mike, the issue is you don't need 2.1B tokens to hit this. And
I don't know where "its a reserved value" comes from. At least nothing is
reserving it, in indexwriter or elsewhere. Instead we just check for
negatives/overflow.
I've seen people use large posInc gaps between fields. This can make huge
position numbers. Also if someone forgets clearAttributes the positions grow
exponentially. Sure its bad, but for small docs i bet plenty of people have
HUGE positions and don't realize it.
Can we just change the constant to -2? Then the problem is solved.
