Robert Muir commented on LUCENE-1793:
-------------------------------------
I am guessing the rationale for the current code is to try to reduce index
size? (since these languages are double-byte encoded in Unicode).
If this is the concern, then I think a better solution would be to integrate
some form of unicode compression (i.e. BOCU-1) into lucene, rather than try to
deal with legacy character sets in this way.
> remove custom encoding support in Greek/Russian Analyzers

> Key: LUCENE-1793
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-1793
> Project: Lucene - Java
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: contrib/analyzers
> Reporter: Robert Muir
> Priority: Minor
>
> The Greek and Russian analyzers support custom encodings such as KOI-8, they
> define things like Lowercase and tokenization for these.
> I think that analyzers should support unicode and that conversion/handling of
> other charsets belongs somewhere else.
> I would like to deprecate/remove the support for these other encodings.
