Yonik Seeley commented on LUCENE-2019:
--------------------------------------
Here's a process-internal use-case (as I understand the meaning):
User hands me two tokens. I catenate and separate them with an internal-use
char, then index.
Later, I get this term somehow from lucene, split on my internal-use char and
hand back to the user.
If lucene converts internal-use chars, this becomes impossible.
What's the use-case for handing lucene internal-use characters and not wanting
it preserved? Couldn't you always use your internal-use characters, and then
convert or remove them before handing to lucene?

> A spinoff from LUCENE-2016.
> There are several process-internal codepoints in unicode, we should not store
> these in the index.
> Instead they should be mapped to replacement character (U+FFFD), so they can
> be used process-internally.
> An example of this is how Lucene Java currently uses U+FFFF
> process-internally, it can't be in the index or will cause problems.
