Hello all, Over the last year or so we in Commons have been working towards a newly released component “commons-text,”, and we were wondering if folks wanted to begin consuming commons-text so that we can consolidate the maintenance of the code performing edit distances and similarity scores (for now).
For example, I think that the Levenshtein Distance is maintained at least in each of solr, opennlp, and spark, if not in more locations. For the sake of keeping our code "DRY" (do-not repeat yourself), might folks have an appetite for consuming such a component? Furthermore, is anyone aware of other projects that could find commons-text a useful mechanism of code consolidation? Cheers, -Rob On behalf of the Apache Commons Project chtom...@apache.org
