Doug Cutting commented on LUCENE-819:
-------------------------------------
> why not just apply the patch and move on?
Two reasons: (1) most folks consider it an error to use null for a term's text,
an error that unfortunately wasn't checked in the constructor, but causes
problems in the comparator, when reading and writing, etc.--basically
everywhere a term is used. Your application only uses such terms in
comparators, so you're only concerned about that case, but there are more
cases, and if null is officially supported they should all be fixed; and (2)
adding complexity to an inner-loop comparator should not be done lightly as it
may have performance implications.
