[jira] [Commented] (LUCENE-7708) Track PositionLengthAttribute abuse

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-7708?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=15928145#comment-15928145 ] 

Shawn Heisey commented on LUCENE-7708:
--------------------------------------

There's no fix version here.  CHANGES.txt says it's in 6.5.0.

(looking for possible causes of a shingle filter problem confirmed in Solr 6.3 and 6.4, this couldn't be the cause)

> Some token filters uses the position length attribute of the token stream to encode the number of terms they put in a single token. 
> This breaks the query parsing because it creates disconnected graph. 
> I've tracked down the abusive case to 2 candidates:
> * ShingleFilter which sets the position length attribute to the length of the shingle.
> * CJKBigramFilter which always sets the position length attribute to 2.
> I don't think these filters should set the position length at all so the best would be to remove the attribute from these token filters but this could break BWC.
> Though this is a serious bug since shingles and cjk bigram now produce invalid queries.
