Uwe Schindler commented on LUCENE-1960:
---------------------------------------
In the discussion with Mike, we said, that all pre-2.9 compressed fields should
behave as before, e.g. they should automatically decompress. It should not be
possibile to create new ones. This is just index compatibility, in the current
version it is simply not defined what happens with pre-2.9 fields. The second
problem are older compressed fields using the modified Java-UTF-8 encoding,
which may not correctly decompress now (if you receive with getByte())
The problem with your patch: If the field is compressed and you try to get it,
you would not hit it (because it is marked as String, not binary). The new
self-compressed fields are now should be "binary", before they were binary *or*
string. See the discussion in LUCENE-652
