Earwin Burrfoot commented on LUCENE-1793:
-----------------------------------------
bq. 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).
Rationale was most probably to support existing non-unicode
systems/databases/files, whatever. My say is - anyone still holding onto koi8,
cp1251 and friends should silently do harakiri.
> remove custom encoding support in Greek/Russian Analyzers

> 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.
