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

             Summary: FileDictionaryFactory does not treat lines beginning with '#' as comments
                 Key: SOLR-9368
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-9368
             Project: Solr
          Issue Type: Bug
      Security Level: Public (Default Security Level. Issues are Public)
          Components: Suggester
    Affects Versions: 6.1
            Reporter: John Iacona
            Priority: Minor


The documentation for FileDictionaryFactory states that "Blank lines and lines that start with a '#' are ignored". This is not the case. When loading a dictionary file with '#' prefixed lines, they just get interpreted as terms and show up in suggestion results. 

This causes additional confusion when trying to use payloads. As stated in https://lucene.apache.org/core/6_1_0/suggest/org/apache/lucene/search/suggest/FileDictionary.html: "In order to have payload enabled, the first entry has to have a payload". However, if you happen to have a "comment" as the first line in a dictionary file (that doesn't happen to have two instances of the fieldDelimiter in it...), payloads are disabled.
