---------------------------------------------------------------
Thanks for copy/paste, [~romseygeek], I meant to reply-all, but fumble fingered
on the phone. If we can get TokenFilters to stop messing with offsets, then
maybe we can kill OffsetAttribute altogether. I feel like that is the vision we
are groping towards? Either that or support Offsets in a first-class way in
TokenFilters, but nobody seems to want to do that, Do we agree those are the
choices? In the end, highlighting the entire original token (even when your
query only really matches a piece of it) doesn't seem so terrible. I would
advocate for fixing the API problems first by tightening the API around
offsets, and then later if we want to make it possible to do more precise
offsets / multiple passes of token splitting, we can maybe find a way to do
that, but the "highlight a subtoken doesn't work" seems like a relatively minor
problem, not really deserving of major efforts to support it.

> Make WordDelimiterGraphFilter a Tokenizer

> Key: LUCENE-8516
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-8516
> Project: Lucene - Core
> Issue Type: Task
> Reporter: Alan Woodward

> Priority: Major
> Attachments: LUCENE-8516.patch

>
> Being able to split tokens up at arbitrary points in a filter chain, in
> effect adding a second round of tokenization, can cause any number of
> problems when trying to keep tokenstreams to contract. The most common
> offender here is the WordDelimiterGraphFilter, which can produce broken
> offsets in a wide range of situations.
> We should make WDGF a Tokenizer in its own right, which should preserve all
> the functionality we need, but make reasoning about the resulting tokenstream
> much simpler.
