Yonik Seeley commented on LUCENE-510:
-------------------------------------
I'd like to see everything kept as bytes for as long as possible (right up into
Term).
A nice bonus would be to reduce the size of things like the FieldCache, and to
allow true binary data.
> IndexOutput.writeString() should write length in bytes

> Key: LUCENE-510
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-510
> Project: Lucene - Java
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Store
> Affects Versions: 2.1
> Reporter: Doug Cutting
> Assigned To: Grant Ingersoll
> Fix For: 2.1
>
> Attachments: SortExternal.java, strings.diff, TestSortExternal.java

> We should change the format of strings written to indexes so that the length
> of the string is in bytes, not Java characters. This issue has been
> discussed at:
> http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg01970.html
> We must increment the file format number to indicate this change. At least
> the format number in the segments file should change.
> I'm targetting this for 2.1, i.e., we shouldn't commit it to trunk until
> after 2.0 is released, to minimize incompatible changes between 1.9 and 2.0
> (other than removal of deprecated features).
