Uwe Schindler updated LUCENE-6879:
----------------------------------
Attachment: LUCENE-6879.patch
Patch using Java 8s new functional APIs. Very cool and simple to define a new
Tokenizer.
I only don't like that CharTokenizer is in oal.analysis.util package. Maybe we
should move the factories to a separate class in the oal.analysis,core pkg.
The patch also has some tests showing how you would use them.

> As a followup from LUCENE-6874, I thought about how to generate custom
> CharTokenizers wthout subclassing. I had this quite often and I was a bit
> annoyed, that you had to create a subclass every time.
> This issue is using the pattern like ThreadLocal or many collection methods
> in Java 8: You have the (abstract) base class and you define a factory method
> named {{fromXxxPredicate}} (like {{ThreadLocal.fromInitial(() -> value}}).
> {code:java}
> public static CharTokenizer fromPredicate(java.util.function.IntPredicate
> predicate)
> {code}
> This would allow to define a new CharTokenizer with a single line statement
> using any predicate:
> {code:java}
> // long variant with lambda:
> Tokenizer tok = CharTokenizer.fromTokenCharPredicate(c ->
> !UCharacter.isUWhiteSpace(c));
> // method reference for separator char predicate + normalization by
> uppercasing:
> Tokenizer tok =
> CharTokenizer.fromSeparatorCharPredicate(UCharacter::isUWhiteSpace,
> Character::toUpperCase);
> // method reference to custom function:
> private boolean myTestFunction(int c) {
> return (cracy condition);
> }
> Tokenizer tok = CharTokenizer.fromTokenCharPredicate(this::myTestFunction);
> {code}
> I know this would not help Solr users that want to define the Tokenizer in a
> config file, but for real Lucene users the Java 8-like way would be the
> following static method on CharTokenizer without subclassing. It is fast as
> hell, as it is just a reference to a method and Java 8 is optimized for that.
> The inverted factories {{fromSeparatorCharPredicate()}} are provided to allow
> quick definition without lambdas using method references. In lots of cases,
> like WhitespaceTokenizer, predicates are on the separator chars
> ({{isWhitespace(int)}}, so using the 2nd set of factories you can define them
> without the counter-intuitive negation. Internally it just uses
> {{Predicate#negate()}}.
> The factories also allow to give the normalization function, e.g. to
> Lowercase, you may just give {{Character::toLowerCase}} as
> {{IntUnaryOperator}} reference.
