More Locale problems in Lucene
------------------------------
Key: LUCENE-1846
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-1846
Project: Lucene - Java
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Other
Reporter: Uwe Schindler
Assignee: Uwe Schindler
Priority: Trivial
Fix For: 2.9
This is a followup to LUCENE-1836: I found some more Locale problems in Lucene
with Date Formats. Even for simple date formats only consisting of numbers
(like ISO dates), you should always give the US locale. Because the dates in
DateTools should sort according to String.compare(), it is important, that the
decimal digits are western ones. In some strange locales, this may be
different. Whenever you want to format dates for internal formats you exspect
to behave somehow, you should at least set the locale to US, which uses ASCII.
Dates entered by users and displayed to users, should be formatted according to
the default or a custom specified locale.
I also looked for DecimalFormat (especially used for padding numbers), but
found no problems.
