Robert Muir commented on LUCENE-1689:
-------------------------------------
one tricky part of this is CharTokenizer. a few things subclass this guy.
* Sometimes it is ok (WhitespaceTokenizer, because all whitespace in unicode <=
0xFFFF)
* Sometimes it is not (LetterTokenizer)
It depends how its being used. So I think instead of just
{code}
abstract boolean isTokenChar(char)
char normalize(char)
{code}
we can add additional int-based methods, where the default implementation is to
defer to the char-based ones.
This would preserve backwards compatibility.

> Key: LUCENE-1689
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-1689
> Project: Lucene - Java
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Reporter: Robert Muir
> Priority: Minor
> Fix For: 3.1

> Attachments: LUCENE-1689_lowercase_example.txt,
> testCurrentBehavior.txt
>
>
> for Java 5. Java 5 is based on unicode 4, which means variable-width encoding.
> supplementary character support should be fixed for code that works with
> char/char[]
> For example:
> StandardAnalyzer, SimpleAnalyzer, StopAnalyzer, etc should at least be
> changed so they don't actually remove suppl characters, or modified to look
> for surrogates and behave correctly.
> LowercaseFilter should be modified to lowercase suppl. characters correctly.
> CharTokenizer should either be deprecated or changed so that isTokenChar()
> and normalize() use int.
> in all of these cases code should remain optimized for the BMP case, and
> suppl characters should be the exception, but still work.
