Robert Muir commented on LUCENE-3526:
-------------------------------------

There are more serious problems in 3.x here.

* if you create new Field("", ""), you get IllegalArgumentException from 
Field's ctor: "name and value cannot both be empty"
* But there are tons of other ways to index an empty term for the empty field 
(for example initially make it "garbage" then .setValue(""), or via 
tokenstream).
* If you do this, and you have assertions enabled, you will trip the same 
assert bug i fixed in trunk here.
* If you don't have assertions enabled, you will create a corrupt index:     
test: terms, freq, prox...ERROR [term : docFreq=1 != num docs seen 0 + num docs 
deleted 0]

So we need to figure out what the semantics should be for 3.x. is Term("", "") 
allowed or not?

> spinoff from LUCENE-3473.
> I have a standalone test for this... the termsenum is returning a bogus extra 
> empty-term (I assume it has no postings, i didnt try).
> This causes the checkindex test in LUCENE-3473 to fail, because there are 4 
> terms instead of 3.
