Adrien Grand commented on LUCENE-6976:
--------------------------------------

>Anyone have an opinion if BytesRef.deepCopyOf should handle null?

I would rather like it to not special-case null as it could hide bugs?

The patch looks good, even if it's a bit awkward that the second attribute is 
instantiated through reflection in the test?

> BytesTermAttributeImpl.copyTo NPEs when the BytesRef is null

> The BytesTermAttributeImpl class, not used much I think, has a problem in its 
> copyTo method in which it assumes "bytes" isn't null since it calls 
> BytesRef.deepCopyOf on it.  Perhaps deepCopyOf should support null?  And 
> also, toString(), equals() and hashCode() aren't implemented but we can do so.
> This was discovered in SOLR-8541; the spatial PrefixTreeStrategy uses this 
> attribute and the CachingTokenFilter when used on the analysis chain will 
> call clearAttributes() in it's end() method and then capture the state so it 
> can be replayed later.  BytesTermAttributeImpl.clear() nulls out the bytes 
> reference.
