Hi Grant,

   Thanks for your response!

Taking a closer look at the TokenFilter(s) that causes my problem with the Payload are all from org.apache.solr.analysis rather than org.apache.lucene.analysis. I had originally thought that all the TokenFilters available through Solr's TokenFilterFactory(s) were part of Lucene. But I guess there are TokenFilters specific to Solr, such as the WordDelimiterFilter, that aren't aware of Payloads. Thanks for saying exactly the right thing to make me realize that.
I guess you just want to be careful about how big your payloads get.
Erik Hatcher suggested storing the bulky XPath strings in a table of contents field and just storing a smaller representation of the information at each token with the intention of doing a lookup to get the bulky stuff at query time.

One of the original use cases for payloads was for doing XPath queries.

   Has anyone actually completed anything with XPath queries and Payloads?
Also, the only thing experimental about Payloads is the actual signature of the methods, not the need for them. If anything, I think you will see an expansion of payload capability in the future. Also note, that you will probably be interested in adding more Payload querying capability. And also note, I am in the process of adding the ability to get payloads from Spans, but I am not sure if this gets into 2.3 or not.

I look forward to seeing more of Payloads! I can already see how they can be extremely useful.

Thanks,
Tricia
