Shawn Heisey commented on LUCENE-7960: -------------------------------------- The one thing that I do not know is whether an added argument with the ellipsis notation preserves API compatibility. If we did that, would a program originally compiled against an older Lucene version still work correctly with the added parameter? I know that everything would be fine if the program were re-compiled. Which I think technically meets our overall goal for a minor release, but preserving binary compatibility when possible is a good bonus. > NGram filters -- add option to keep short terms > ----------------------------------------------- > > Key: LUCENE-7960 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-7960 > Project: Lucene - Core > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: modules/analysis > Reporter: Shawn Heisey > Priority: Major > Attachments: LUCENE-7960.patch, LUCENE-7960.patch > > Time Spent: 0.5h > Remaining Estimate: 0h > > When ngram or edgengram filters are used, any terms that are shorter than the > minGramSize are completely removed from the token stream. > This is probably 100% what was intended, but I've seen it cause a lot of > problems for users.
