Robert Muir commented on LUCENE-1758:
-------------------------------------

I am curious, could this be considered for 2.9? 

Mostly because Arabic Analyzer is unreleased (so no back compat issues): I 
think the combination of لل + stopwords improvement will really help.

> Someone mentioned on the java user list that the arabic analysis was not as 
> good as they would like.
> This patch adds the لل- prefix (light10 algorithm versus light8 algorithm).
> In the light10 paper, this improves precision from .390 to .413
> They mention this is not statistically significant, but it makes linguistic 
> sense and at least has been shown not to hurt.
> In the future, I hope openrelevance will allow us to try some more 
> approaches.
