             Summary: StemmerUtil.deleteN may delete too many characters
                 Key: LUCENE-5237
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-5237
             Project: Lucene - Core
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: modules/analysis
            Reporter: Shai Erera
            Assignee: Shai Erera


StemmerUtil.deleteN calls to delete(), but in some cases, it may delete too 
many characters. E.g. if you execute this code:

{code}
char[] buf = "abcd".toCharArray();
int len = StemmerUtil.deleteN(buf, buf.length, buf.length, 3);
System.out.println(new String(buf, 0, len));
{code}

You get "a", even though no character should have been deleted (not according 
to the javadocs nor common logic).

The problem is in delete(), which always returns {{len-1}}, even if no 
character is actually deleted.

I'll post a patch that fixes it shortly.
