Mark Miller commented on LUCENE-1689:
-------------------------------------

bq. Mark honestly, I do not yet know how this one could be reasonably done.

Then thats what I am saying we should be documenting.

bq. how in the hell do we know which JVM version was used to create some given 
index????

If something like this made sense long term, we can start putting it in as 
index metadata - not helpful now, but could end up being so.

> for Java 5. Java 5 is based on unicode 4, which means variable-width encoding.
> supplementary character support should be fixed for code that works with 
> char/char[]
> For example:
> StandardAnalyzer, SimpleAnalyzer, StopAnalyzer, etc should at least be 
> changed so they don't actually remove suppl characters, or modified to look 
> for surrogates and behave correctly.
> LowercaseFilter should be modified to lowercase suppl. characters correctly.
> CharTokenizer should either be deprecated or changed so that isTokenChar() 
> and normalize() use int.
> in all of these cases code should remain optimized for the BMP case, and 
> suppl characters should be the exception, but still work.
