OK great! I'll see what I can do from here.

Thanks!

Take ANTLR and roll your own query parser from scratch? It's pretty easy.


Hi Earwin,

That would be fantastic, since our parser is already specified as an ANTLR
grammar. However, I can't seem to find an antlr grammar in the lucene
source. Obviously what we want is to extend the existing query support, not
just create a new one from scratch.

Lucene's default QueryParser uses javacc if I'm not mistaken. And I
don't see any way to extend it except by patching and using modified
version.
If you want to explore some existing alternatives, Mark has an article
here - http://www.lucidimagination.com/blog/2009/02/22/exploring-query-parsers/
My personal opinion is that default parser is only suitable for
something that isn't going to see real world use.


Regards,

Candide

Hello,

I'm looking at a way to extend the lucene query parser to allow for
semantic
computations in IEML space (see http://ieml.org). What I'd like to know
is:
how difficult it would be to be able to add clauses to query like: ...
AND (
some_IEML_expression) AND ...

some_IEML_expression would involve a reference to some field that would
contain metadata expressed in that format.

Thanks in advance for you insights.

Candide
