Tim Smith commented on LUCENE-4557:
-----------------------------------
Spun off LUCENE-4560 for supporting filtering during segment merging.
patch will be forthcoming shortly
as long as that gains traction and makes it in, i will be happy (this will
actually fulfill numerous other use cases i have).
I still consider this issue a bug given indexed content is lost and would
recommend against closing this ticket, however LUCENE-4560 will provide a more
than adequate solution for my needs.
> 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
