Earwin Burrfoot commented on LUCENE-2016:
-----------------------------------------
Being one of those hit by U+FFFF earlier, I'd rather like to see remapping
happen in some filter and IW throwing an exception on what it deems 'illegal'.
Or at very least a big fat documentation entry, that jumps in your face somehow
and lists all codepoints that will be remapped.
> replace invalid U+FFFF character during indexing

> Key: LUCENE-2016
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-2016
> Project: Lucene - Java
> Issue Type: Bug
> Affects Versions: 2.4, 2.4.1, 2.9
> Reporter: Michael McCandless
> Assignee: Michael McCandless
> Fix For: 2.9.1, 3.0

> If the invalid U+FFFF character is embedded in a token, it actually causes
> indexing to silently corrupt the index by writing duplicate terms into the
> terms dict. CheckIndex will catch the error, and merging will hit exceptions
> (I think).
> We already replace invalid surrogate pairs with the replacement character
> U+FFFD, so I'll just do the same with U+FFFF.
