Robert Muir commented on LUCENE-2309: ------------------------------------- I'm just asking the question because, maybe i have a different idea of "fully decouple IndexWriter from Analyzer". If we setup an API where its different at indextime versus query-time, I'm not going to be happy because this is setting up users to fail: in general i should be able to pass my 'analysis configuration' to all the various consumers and if its the same at index/time versus query/time, things should work. I dont think we should expose a different per-field configuration at index-time versus query-time versus this or that, I think thats a step backwards. > Fully decouple IndexWriter from analyzers > ----------------------------------------- > > Key: LUCENE-2309 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-2309 > Project: Lucene - Java > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: core/index > Reporter: Michael McCandless > Labels: gsoc2011, lucene-gsoc-11, mentor > Fix For: 4.0 > > Attachments: LUCENE-2309.patch > > > IndexWriter only needs an AttributeSource to do indexing. > Yet, today, it interacts with Field instances, holds a private > analyzers, invokes analyzer.reusableTokenStream, has to deal with a > wide variety (it's not analyzed; it is analyzed but it's a Reader, > String; it's pre-analyzed). > I'd like to have IW only interact with attr sources that already > arrived with the fields. This would be a powerful decoupling -- it > means others are free to make their own attr sources. > They need not even use any of Lucene's analysis impls; eg they can > integrate to other things like [OpenPipeline|http://www.openpipeline.org]. > Or make something completely custom. > LUCENE-2302 is already a big step towards this: it makes IW agnostic > about which attr is "the term", and only requires that it provide a > BytesRef (for flex). > Then I think LUCENE-2308 would get us most of the remaining way -- ie, if the > FieldType knows the analyzer to use, then we could simply create a > getAttrSource() method (say) on it and move all the logic IW has today > onto there. (We'd still need existing IW code for back-compat). -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
