Robert Muir commented on LUCENE-1793:
-------------------------------------
DM, you are right this is a better discussion for another issue/place
I was concerned that we would be taking functionality away, but this is not the
case, as Uwe says it is only "strange".
I just looked at all these encodings: they are all storing characters in the
extended ascii range (> 0x7F)
Therefore, anyone using this strange encoding support is using 2 bytes per
character already!
For example someone using CP1251 in the russian analyzer is simply storing Ж as
0xC6, its being represented as Æ. (2 bytes in UTF-8)
So, by deprecating these encodings for unicode, nobody's index size will
double...
> remove custom encoding support in Greek/Russian Analyzers

> Issue Type: Improvement

>
> 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.
