> During a very large crawl i found a few documents producing non-character codepoints. When indexing to Solr this will yield the following exception:
> {code}
> SEVERE: java.lang.RuntimeException: [was class java.io.CharConversionException] Invalid UTF-8 character 0xffff at char #1142033, byte #1155068)
>         at com.ctc.wstx.util.ExceptionUtil.throwRuntimeException(ExceptionUtil.java:18)
>         at com.ctc.wstx.sr.StreamScanner.throwLazyError(StreamScanner.java:731)
> {code}
> Quite annoying! Here's quick fix for SolrWriter that'll pass the value of the content field to a method to strip away non-characters. I'm not too sure about this implementation but the tests i've done locally with a huge dataset now passes correctly. Here's a list of codepoints to strip away: http://unicode.org/cldr/utility/list-unicodeset.jsp?a=[:Noncharacter_Code_Point=True:]
