/**
 * Converts each token into its {@link com.ibm.icu.text.CollationKey}, and then encodes bytes as an
 * index term.
 *
 * WARNING: Make sure you use exactly the same Collator at index and query time
 * -- CollationKeys are only comparable when produced by the same Collator. {@link
 * com.ibm.icu.text.RuleBasedCollator}s are independently versioned, so it is safe to search against
 * stored CollationKeys if the following are exactly the same (best practice is to store this
 * information with the index and check that they remain the same at query time):
 *
 * 

 *   Collator version - see {@link Collator#getVersion()}
 *   
The collation strength used - see {@link Collator#setStrength(int)}
 * 
 *
 * CollationKeys generated by ICU Collators are not compatible with those generated by
 * java.text.Collators. Specifically, if you use ICUCollationAttributeFactory to generate index
 * terms, do not use {@link CollationAttributeFactory} on the query side, or vice versa.
 *
 * ICUCollationAttributeFactory is significantly faster and generates significantly shorter keys
 * than CollationAttributeFactory. See http://site.icu-project.org/charts/collation-icu4j-sun for key generation timing and key
 * length comparisons between ICU4J and java.text.Collator over several languages.
