whose UTF8 encoding is longer than the max length 32766 about explicit-semantic-analysis

Hi @MarceloBaeza, sorry for my late response and thank you for your interest in ESA.

A few answers to the following questions could enable me to reproduce the problem, or help you or someone else to solve the issue without my assistence:

• In which stage did you encounter problems exactly? Did you follow the readme or did you find an alternative way to work with ESA (no problems with that, btw); EDIT Did you change the analyzer?
• What is the exact wikipedia dump that you used? Can you give the URL?
• Is there only one document that causes trouble or is the complete Lucene index unusable?
• What is the document that causes problems exactly? Can you find its title? Can you retrieve it from Wikipedia?
• Are non-breaking spaces used in the document instead of regular white space? Is there anything else weird about the document?
• What does the document look like in the dump file? Could the dump file format be changed since when I first wrote ESA?

Hi @MarceloBaeza,

the prefix you mention would be lalaldkjfvntuivbynerurrrrrrrrr... in UTF-8 encoding. Doesn't make sense to me...

EDIT
The exception is thrown by Lucene because a single term has exceeded the hard coded term length limit of 32766 bytes. More details here on StackOverflow. The answers suggest that the analyzer does produce very long terms. You should find out whether that is really the case.
