David Smiley commented on LUCENE-2529:
--------------------------------------

Just to see how the tests fared with your suggestion, I commented out my 
"correction" of position from -1 to 0, and instead put in:
  assert fieldState.position >= 0 : "LUCENE-1542, pos < 0 doesn't work with 
payloads";

Some lucene tests failed:
 TestIndexWriter.testNegativePositions
TestPositionIncrement.testSetPosition and testPayloadsPos0

I ran the Solr tests and didn't see failures that had to do with the position.  
No synonym failure like you reported.

> I'm doing some fancy stuff with span queries that is very sensitive to term 
> positions.  I discovered that the position increment gap on indexing is only 
> applied between values when there are existing terms indexed for the 
> document.  I suspect this logic wasn't deliberate, it's just how its always 
> been for no particular reason.  I think it should always apply the gap 
> between fields.  Reference DocInverterPerField.java line 82:
> if (fieldState.length > 0)
>           fieldState.position += 
> docState.analyzer.getPositionIncrementGap(fieldInfo.name);
> This is checking fieldState.length.  I think the condition should simply be:  
> if (i > 0).
> I don't think this change will affect anyone at all but it will certainly 
> help me.  Presently, I can either change this line in Lucene, or I can put in 
> a hack so that the first value for the document is some dummy value which is 
> wasteful.
