Uwe Schindler commented on LUCENE-6874: --------------------------------------- Yeah remove it! LUCENE-6879 is enough to quickly define your own WhitespaceTokenizer with ICU, if you want. > WhitespaceTokenizer should tokenize on NBSP > ------------------------------------------- > > Key: LUCENE-6874 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-6874 > Project: Lucene - Core > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: modules/analysis > Reporter: David Smiley > Priority: Minor > Attachments: LUCENE-6874-jflex.patch, LUCENE-6874.patch, > LUCENE_6874_jflex.patch > > > WhitespaceTokenizer uses [Character.isWhitespace > |http://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/api/java/lang/Character.html#isWhitespace-int-] > to decide what is whitespace. Here's a pertinent excerpt: > bq. It is a Unicode space character (SPACE_SEPARATOR, LINE_SEPARATOR, or > PARAGRAPH_SEPARATOR) but is not also a non-breaking space ('\u00A0', > '\u2007', '\u202F') > Perhaps Character.isWhitespace should have been called > isLineBreakableWhitespace? > I think WhitespaceTokenizer should tokenize on this.
