Most of my terms return the correct position that they are in, but there is
a percent or them that return really bad values. For example, I have a
field that contains 5 terms, when I ask for term position of one of the
terms (that I know is in position 3) I am getting a value of 43 returned.
If I modify the data I am indexing and rebuild the index, it may cause
different values for this same term to be returned such as 20 or 21.
When I build the index using the SimpleText codec and examine it, it shows
the position correctly at 3 for the same term.
Could there be fixes in later versions of Lucene that have fixed this and I
need to upgrade? Or is there a bug lurking that under the right conditions
cause this problem to manifest itself?
