Earwin Burrfoot commented on LUCENE-2019:
-----------------------------------------
bq. if you disagree with this patch, then you should also disagree with
treating U+FFFF special! I don't see how in the world U+FFFF is different than
any other codepoint in the noncharacter category in this regard!
Yes! The best treatment a library can offer to your data if you're not
explicitly requesting transformation is transparently passing it in and out.
If Lucene had cleanly separated text/binary data API, it would be okay to
mangle text input. But now such mangling just messes up other people's attempts
of building said type-safe API on top of 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.
