Robert Muir commented on LUCENE-10048:
--------------------------------------
btw, there are a lot of alternatives you can look into to avoid having > 2^32
tokens inside a single document's field. For example, you could use more
fields, you could encode the thing in the payload, etc.
But I don't understand what you are doing, to me it sounds like lucene may not
be the right solution at all honestly. Or maybe instead it is worth looking at
lucene 9 vector format or something very different.
> Bypass total frequency check if field uses custom term frequency
> ----------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: LUCENE-10048
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-10048
> Project: Lucene - Core
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Reporter: Tony Xu
> Priority: Minor
>
> For all fields whose index option is not *IndexOptions.NONE*. There is a
> check on per field total token count (i.e. field-length) to ensure we don't
> index too many tokens. This is done by accumulating the token's
> *TermFrequencyAttribute.*
>
> Given that currently Lucene allows custom term frequency attached to each
> token and the usage of the frequency can be pretty wild. It is possible to
> have the following case where the check fails with only a few tokens that
> have large frequencies. Currently Lucene will skip indexing the whole
> document.
> *"foo|<very large number> bar|<very large number>"*
>
> What should be way to inform the indexing chain not to check the field length?
> A related observation, when custom term frequency is in use, user is not
> likely to use the similarity for this field. Maybe we can offer a way to
> specify that, too?
