Robert Muir commented on LUCENE-4557:
-------------------------------------
I really disagree with adding fake data, as I said I think updateDocument
should
throw an exception here if the fieldinfos disagree. Same goes for addIndexes.
If you want to add fake data to your index, thats your decision, again wrap
your reader with a FilterReader that adds fake data.
> Indexed Offsets Can Be Lost During Merge
> ----------------------------------------
>
> Key: LUCENE-4557
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-4557
> Project: Lucene - Core
> Issue Type: Bug
> Affects Versions: 4.0
> Reporter: Tim Smith
> Attachments: OffsetsTest.java
>
>
> Primary Use case:
> Start with pre-4.0 index (no indexed offsets available)
> Start indexing new documents with indexed offsets
> (IndexOptions.DOCS_AND_FREQS_AND_POSITIONS_AND_OFFSETS, previously was
> IndexOptions.DOCS_AND_FREQS_AND_POSITIONS)
> merge/optimize index
> newly indexed documents will now no longer have offsets available
> In general, it is impossible to ever change a field to have offsets indexed
> when starting with an existing index as a merge will cause offsets to be
> removed from the index.
> Desirable behavior would be for new documents to have offsets indexed
> properly, and old documents would have offset of "0, 0" for all positions
> after merging with a segment that contains offsets
> Current behavior can be very dangerous.
> for example:
> * Start indexing documents with indexed offsets
> * change config to not index offsets by accident
> * index 1 document
> * revert config back
> * offsets will start disappearing from documents as segments are merged
