SOLR-7144 - Suggester dictionary does not set origFreq

["Reitzel, Charles" <Ch...@tiaa-cref.org>]

Hi All,

With apologies for jumping the gun and submitting the issue prior to this email ...

I have created SOLR-7144 - "Suggester dictionary does not set origFreq" here:
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-7144

The short version is that Suggester never sets the original frequency.  Since we're trying to use Suggester as a spellcheck implementation (per the Spellcheck docs until very recently).   For a variety of reasons, we want to use the extended spellcheck response to make search suggestions.   Without term-by-term frequency information, our code cannot distinguish which are good terms to use in a subsequent query and which are not.   This patch fixes that problem.

Of course, if there is a better way to handle the issue, avoiding a code change is preferable.  I did check this out on the user list and did not get a solution there.

Any thoughts on this patch?   Is this a good approach?

It's only a few lines of product changes.  Includes a couple unit tests.  Also, "ant test" still runs fine at the top level.

Any feedback appreciated.
Thanks,
Charlie Reitzel
