             Summary: Add DecimalDigitFilter
                 Key: LUCENE-6737
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-6737
             Project: Lucene - Core
          Issue Type: New Feature
            Reporter: Robert Muir
             Fix For: Trunk, 5.4
         Attachments: LUCENE-6737.patch

TokenFilter that folds all unicode digits 
(http://unicode.org/cldr/utility/list-unicodeset.jsp?a=[:General_Category=Decimal_Number:])
 to 0-9.

Historically a lot of the impacted analyzers couldn't even tokenize numbers at 
all, but now they use standardtokenizer for numbers/alphanum tokens. But its 
usually the case you will find e.g. a mix of both ascii digits and "native" 
digits, and today that makes searching difficult.

Note this only impacts *decimal* digits, hence the name DecimalDigitFilter. So 
no processing of chinese numerals or anything crazy like that.
