Description

Scenario:

• create an index with arbitrary content, and close it
• open IndexWriter again, and add a document with binary field (stored but not compressed)
• close IndexWriter without optimizing, so that the new document is in a separate segment.
• open IndexReader. You can read the last document and its binary field just fine.
• open IndexWriter, optimize the index, close IndexWriter
• open IndexReader. Now the field is still present (not null) and is marked as binary, but the data is not there - Field.getBinaryLength() returns 0.
