Yonik Seeley commented on LUCENE-2504:
--------------------------------------

bq. silly question, what does the bigString do? 

It's actually not currently used by Solr.... but it's basically to use as a 
proxy for a null if you want the Comparables returned by value() to match the 
sort order the Comparator actually used.

bq. (just wondering if it should be U+10FFFF,U+10FFFF,... now that we use utf-8 
order, depending what it does)

Maybe... if it is supposed to be just a string (I know that's the name, but 
maybe it should be called bigTerm I guess).  All of our terms are currently 
UTF8 - but I don't know if that will last?
