David Smiley updated LUCENE-3843:
---------------------------------
Fix Version/s: (was: 4.7)
4.8
> implement PositionLengthAttribute for all tokenstreams where its appropriate
> ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: LUCENE-3843
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-3843
> Project: Lucene - Core
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Reporter: Robert Muir
> Fix For: 4.8
>
>
> LUCENE-3767 introduces PositionLengthAttribute, which extends the tokenstream
> API
> from a sausage to a real graph.
> Currently tokenstreams such as WordDelimiterFilter and SynonymsFilter
> theoretically
> work at a graph level, but then serialize themselves to a sausage, for
> example:
> wi-fi with WDF creates:
> wi(posinc=1), fi(posinc=1), wifi(posinc=0)
> So the lossiness is that the 'wifi' is simply stacked ontop of 'fi'
> PositionLengthAttribute fixes this by allowing a token to declare how far it
> "spans",
> so we don't lose any information.
> While the indexer currently can only support sausages anyway (and for
> performance reasons,
> this is probably just fine!), other tokenstream consumers such as
> queryparsers and suggesters
> such as LUCENE-3842 can actually make use of this information for better
> behavior.
> So I think its ideal if the TokenStream API doesn't reflect the lossiness of
> the index format,
> but instead keeps all information, and after LUCENE-3767 is committed we
> should fix tokenstreams
> to preserve this information for consumers that can use it.
