[jira] [Comment Edited] (LUCENE-4312) Index format to store position length per position

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-4312?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=16829599#comment-16829599 ]

-----------------------------------------------------------------

(following on discussion at [LUCENE-8776|https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-8776?focusedCommentId=16829561&#comment-16829561]): [~mikemccand], agreed that for query-time cases, graphs can and should be handled as you say.

But functionality that relies on reconstituting _index_ time token graphs (as produced by synonym-/WDGF-type analysis) would require position length to be stored in the index (and reported back via PostingsEnum at query-time), no? And per [~rcmuir]'s suggestion above, the only way to do this currently would be by encoding position length in Payloads.

My question is a more general one about the utility of indexing position length, and whether anyone would be interested in considering integrating full support for indexed token graphs.

> Indexer ignores PositionLengthAttribute.Need change the index format (and Codec APIs) to store an additional int position length per position.
