Mark Miller commented on LUCENE-1448:
-------------------------------------

bq. Second: I can't figure out how to ask StandardTokenizerImpl for the number of chars it pulled from the Reader. Can someone (who understands JFlex well) help out here?

Whats wrong with?

<code>

  public int getFinalOffset() {
    return scanner.yychar() + scanner.yylength();
  }

</code>

> If you add multiple Fieldable instances for the same field name to a document, and you then index those fields with TermVectors storing offsets, it's very likely the offsets for all but the first field instance will be wrong.
> This is because IndexWriter under the hood adds a cumulative base to the offsets of each field instance, where that base is 1 + the endOffset of the last token it saw when analyzing that field.
> But this logic is overly simplistic.  For example, if the WhitespaceAnalyzer is being used, and the text being analyzed ended in 3 whitespace characters, then that information is lost and then next field's offsets are then all 3 too small.  Similarly, if a StopFilter appears in the chain, and the last N tokens were stop words, then the base will be 1 + the endOffset of the last non-stopword token.
> To fix this, I'd like to add a new getFinalOffset() to TokenStream.  I'm thinking by default it returns -1, which means "I don't know so you figure it out", meaning we fallback to the faulty logic we have today.
> This has come up several times on the user's list.
