How to deal with "Document contains at least one immense term" in SOLR?
<p>In LUCENE-5472, Lucene was changed to throw an error if a term is too long, rather than just logging a message. This error states that SOLR doesn't accept token larger than  32766</p>

<pre><code>Caused by: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Document contains at least one immense term in field="text" (whose UTF8 encoding is longer than the max length 32766), all of which were skipped.  Please correct the analyzer to not produce such terms.  The prefix of the first immense term is: '[10, 10, 70, 111, 117, 110, 100, 32, 116, 104, 105, 115, 32, 111, 110, 32, 116, 104, 101, 32, 119, 101, 98, 32, 104, 111, 112, 101, 32, 116]...', original message: bytes can be at most 32766 in length; got 43225

<p>Trying to fix this issue, I added two filters in the schema (in <strong>bold</strong>): </p>

<pre><code>&lt;field name="text" type="text_en_splitting" termPositions="true" termOffsets="true" termVectors="true" indexed="true" required="false" stored="true"/&gt;
&lt;fieldType name="text_en_splitting" class="solr.TextField" positionIncrementGap="100" autoGeneratePhraseQueries="true"&gt;
&lt;fieldType name="text_en_splitting" class="solr.TextField" positionIncrementGap="100" autoGeneratePhraseQueries="true"&gt;
      &lt;analyzer type="index"&gt;
        &lt;tokenizer class="solr.WhitespaceTokenizerFactory"/&gt;
        &lt;!-- in this example, we will only use synonyms at query time
        &lt;filter class="solr.SynonymFilterFactory" synonyms="index_synonyms.txt" ignoreCase="true" expand="false"/&gt;
        --&gt;
        &lt;!-- Case insensitive stop word removal.
        --&gt;
        &lt;filter class="solr.StopFilterFactory"
                ignoreCase="true"
                words="lang/stopwords_en.txt"
            /&gt;
        &lt;filter class="solr.WordDelimiterFilterFactory" generateWordParts="1" generateNumberParts="1" catenateWords="1" catenateNumbers="1" catenateAll="0" splitOnCaseChange="1"/&gt;
        &lt;filter class="solr.LowerCaseFilterFactory"/&gt;
        &lt;filter class="solr.KeywordMarkerFilterFactory" protected="protwords.txt"/&gt;
        &lt;filter class="solr.PorterStemFilterFactory"/&gt;
**&lt;filter class="solr.TruncateTokenFilterFactory" prefixLength="32700"/&gt;
&lt;filter class="solr.LengthFilterFactory" min="2" max="32700" /&gt;**
&lt;/analyzer&gt;
&lt;/fieldType&gt;
</code></pre>

<p>Since the error is still the same (this make me think that the filters are not correctly set up, maybe? )
<strong>Restarting the server is the key</strong> thanks to Mr. Bashetti </p>

<p>The question is which one is better: <code>LengthFilterFactory</code> or <code>TruncateTokenFilterFactory</code> ? And is it right assuming that a byte is a character (since the filter should remove 'unusual' characters ? )
Thank you!</p>
