[jira] [Commented] (LUCENE-8657) CharsRef.compareTo() should always be in UTF-8 order

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-8657?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=16750978#comment-16750978 ] 

Alan Woodward commented on LUCENE-8657:
---------------------------------------

Here is a patch.  The only minor difference I can see this making is that there is a possibility that the Hunspell token filter might emit stacked tokens in a slightly different order, but I don't think that will be an issue anywhere.

> CharsRef.compareTo() currently directly compares byte values.  However, everywhere that CharsRef objects are compared in the codebase instead uses the deprecated UTF16SortedAsUTF8Comparator static comparator.  We should just reimplement compareTo() to use UTF-8 comparisons instead, and remove the deprecated methods.
