Robert Muir commented on LUCENE-10023:
--------------------------------------
A big part of my concern is adding this code directly to indexwriter (which
seems unnecessary as I mentioned before).
Since the user can do this themselves, an alternative for any provided "sugar"
would be to add it as a regular Field (or similar) to {{sandbox/}} module.
My concerns about it being trappy/explosive wouldn't go away, I do feel like it
is a loaded gun without safety mechanisms, but maybe we could figure that out
in the sandbox. And we wouldn't be committing to having this stuff in
indexwriter.
> Multi-token post-analysis DocValues
> -----------------------------------
>
> Key: LUCENE-10023
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-10023
> Project: Lucene - Core
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: core/index
> Reporter: Michael Gibney
> Priority: Major
> Time Spent: 50m
> Remaining Estimate: 0h
>
> The single-token case for post-analysis DocValues is accounted for by
> {{Analyzer.normalize(...)}} (and formerly {{MultiTermAwareComponent}}); but
> there are cases where it would be desirable to have post-analysis DocValues
> based on multi-token fields.
> The main use cases that I can think of are variants of faceting/terms
> aggregation. I understand that this could be viewed as "trappy" for the naive
> "Moby Dick word cloud" case; but:
> # I think this can be supported fairly cleanly in Lucene
> # Explicit user configuration of this option would help prevent people
> shooting themselves in the foot
> # The current situation is arguably "trappy" as well; it just offloads the
> trappiness onto Lucene-external workarounds for systems/users that want to
> support this kind of behavior
> # Integrating this functionality directly in Lucene would afford consistency
> guarantees that present opportunities for future optimizations (e.g., shared
> Terms dictionary between indexed terms and DocValues).
> This issue proposes adding support for multi-token post-analysis DocValues
> directly to {{IndexingChain}}. The initial proposal involves extending the
> API to include {{IndexableFieldType.tokenDocValuesType()}} (in addition to
> existing {{IndexableFieldType.docValuesType()}}).
