LowerCaseTokenizer Does Not Behave As One Might Expect (or Desire)--Given Its 
Name
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: LUCENE-2644
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-2644
             Project: Lucene - Java
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Analysis
    Affects Versions: 3.0.2
            Reporter: Scott Gonyea
             Fix For: 3.0.3, 3.1, Realtime Branch, 4.0


While I understand some of the reasons for its design, the original 
LowerCaseTokenizer should have been named LowerCaseLetterTokenizer.

I feel that LowerCaseTokenizer makes too many assumptions about what too 
tokenize, and I have therefore patched it.  The *default* behavior will remain 
as it always has--to avoid breaking any implementations for which it's being 
used.

I have changed LowerCaseTokenizer to extend CharTokenizer (rather than 
LetterTokenizer).  LetterTokenizer's functionality was merged into the default 
behavior of LowerCaseTokenizer.

Getter/Setter methods have been added to the LowerCaseTokenizer Class, allowing 
you to turn on / off tokenizing by white space, numbers, and special 
(Non-Alpha/Numeric) characters.
