Rushabh Shah commented on LUCENE-10392: --------------------------------------- [~jpountz] I am new to Lucene project. This will be 2nd issue. Given that this is a minor task, I would like to create a PR for this. Can you please elaborate the steps needed to tackle this issue ? Also if you can point me to some classes relevant to this patch where I can read more about the existing behavior, that would be helpful.
