Hi,

I currently use multiple fieldable instances for indexing sentences of a document. When there is only one single fieldable instance, the token offset generation performed in DocumentWriter is correct. The problem appears when there is two or more fieldable instances. In DocumentWriter$FieldData#invertField method, if the field is tokenized, instead of updating offset attribute with stringValue.length() (which is performed if the field is not tokenized, line 1458), you update the offset attribute with the end offset of the last token (line 1503: offset = offsetEnd+1;). As a consequence, if a token has been filtered (for example a stopword, a dot, a space, etc.), the offset attribute is updated with the end offset of the last token not filtered. In this case, you store inside the offset attribute an incorrect offset (the offset is shift back) and all the next fieldable instances will have their offset shifted back.

Is it a bug ? Or is it a desired behavior (in this case, why ?) ?

Regards.
