David Smiley commented on LUCENE-6308:
--------------------------------------

If we can't use Integer.MAX_VALUE as NO_MORE_POSITIONS then I propose we at 
least pave the way for this to become the case for a future Lucene version.  It 
would be nice to have this for API consistency.  In some of my work I have 
abused positions to hold data but in doing so I didn't assume negative values 
or Integer.MAX_VALUE would work.  If I did and if it did work (I guess it 
would?), I wouldn't expect that kind of usage abuse to necessarily be 
compatible between minor Lucene releases as I already know I'm abusing 
something outside of its intended use.
