Lucene 6 Payloads - lucene

Question

I am trying to work with payloads in Lucene 6 but I am having troubles. The idea is to index payloads and use them in a CustomScoreQuery to check if the payload of a query term matches the payload for the document term.
Here is my payload filter:
#Override
public final boolean incrementToken() throws IOException {
if (!this.input.incrementToken()) {
return false;
}
// get the current token
final char[] token = Arrays.copyOfRange(this.termAtt.buffer(), 0, this.termAtt.length());
String stoken = String.valueOf(token);
String[] parts = stoken.split(Constants.PAYLOAD_DELIMITER);
if (parts.length > 1 && parts.length == 2){
termAtt.setLength(parts[0].length());
// the rest is the payload
BytesRef br = new BytesRef(parts[1]);
System.out.println(br);
payloadAtt.setPayload(br);
}else if (parts.length > 1){
// skip
}else{
// no payload here
payloadAtt.setPayload(null);
}
return true;
}
It seems to be adding the payload, however when I try to access the payload in CustomScoreQuery it just keeps returning null.
public float determineBoost(int doc) throws IOException{
float boost = 1f;
LeafReader reader = this.context.reader();
System.out.println("Has payloads:" + reader.getFieldInfos().hasPayloads());
// loop through each location of the term and boost if location matches the payload
if (reader != null){
PostingsEnum posting = reader.postings(new Term(this.field, term.getTerm()), PostingsEnum.POSITIONS);
System.out.println("Term: " + term.getTerm());
if (posting != null){
// move to the document currently looking at
posting.advance(doc);
int count = 0;
while (count < posting.freq()){
BytesRef load = posting.getPayload();
System.out.println(posting);
System.out.println(posting.getClass());
System.out.println(posting.attributes());
System.out.println("Load: " + load);
// if the location matches in the term location than boos the term by the boost factor
try {
if(load != null && term.containLocation(new Payload(load))){
boost = boost * this.boost;
}
} catch (PayloadException e) {
// do not care too much, the payload is unrecognized
// this is not going to change the boost factor
}
posting.nextPosition();
count += 1;
}
}
}
return boost;
}
For my two tests it keeps stating the load is null. Any suggestions or help?
