Jan Martin Keil commented on TEXT-104:
--------------------------------------
Alternatively, one could leave the result of {{JaroWinklerDistance::apply}} as
it is, but mark it as deprecated and remove it in Version 2.0. I do not see the
need to permanently have both classes, as the conversion is trivial. This way,
the class {{JaroWinklerSimilarity}} could already be introduced into version
1.7.
> Jaro Winkler Distance refers to similarity

> The 'apply' method returns the similarity score instead of the distance score
> as implied from the class name.
> It is stated in the javadoc, but it is not aligned with the approach of the
> rest similarity scores in the same package (e.g LevenshteinDetailedDistance).
> Maybe a rename of the class or the method to avoid confusion?
