Hello, see the linked patch: http://pastebin.com/7JAaJ3EN
Because of an ancient bug in lucene 2.4.0, we still allow -1 as a position. But this doesnt even work today (i created such an index, and phrase queries etc dont work because tons of lucene code assumes positions are >= 0). Additionally, these wont be compressible with bulk compression algorithms that assume positive integers. So I think we should throw exception in checkindex if someone has these negative positions. Just in case someone has a 2.4.0 index they migrated all the way up to 4.0, the patch contains code in preflex's reader to correct the -1 delta to 0. This is no worse than today, in that phrase queries etc still wont work on these corrumpt positions, however the rest of the index will continue to work fine. -- lucidimagination.com --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
