[jira] Commented: (LUCENE-819) NullPointerException in Term.compareTo()

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-819?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel#action_12476312 ] 

Steven Parkes commented on LUCENE-819:
--------------------------------------

Hmmmm ... this patch makes Term#compareTo support Terms with null text. I don't think Lucene is supposed to support null terms. This is mentioned in LIA. Is it anywhere in the docs? Should we document that neither fld nor txt of a Term constructor may be null? Would we actually want to check and throw an exception?

If this is right, this should be resolved as a won't fix.
