[jira] [Commented] (LUCENE-4799) Enable extraction of originating
term for ICU collation keys
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-4799?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13587037#comment-13587037 ]
Robert Muir commented on LUCENE-4799:
-------------------------------------
I think maybe a separate field should be used.
We discussed this before on the mailing list a while back and I mentioned my concerns.

> By concatenating generated ICU collation keys bytes with the originating term, it is possible to extract the originating term at a later time. This makes it possible to build a collator sorted facet field and similar multi-value/document structures.
> ICU collation keys are guaranteed to be terminated by a 0 (https://ssl.icu-project.org/apiref/icu4j48rc1/com/ibm/icu/text/CollationKey.html) and since comparison of keys stop when a 0 is encountered, the addition of the originating term does not affect sort order. As 0 are _only_ used for termination in the key bytes, the extraction of the originating term is unambiguous.
