Robert Muir commented on LUCENE-2309: ------------------------------------- bq. For that I proposed to have a default TestAttributeSourceImpl We need a bit more than AttributeSource, at least if the text has more than one token, it must at least support incrementToken() We could try factoring out incrementToken() and end() from TokenStream to create a "more-generic" interface, but really, there isn't much more to Tokenstream (except close and reset) At the same time, while I really like the decorator API of TokenStream, it should be easier for someone to use a completely different API, perhaps one that feels less like you are writing a finite-state machine by hand (capture/restoreState, etc) > Fully decouple IndexWriter from analyzers > ----------------------------------------- > > Key: LUCENE-2309 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-2309 > Project: Lucene - Java > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: Index > Reporter: Michael McCandless > > IndexWriter only needs an AttributeSource to do indexing. > Yet, today, it interacts with Field instances, holds a private > analyzers, invokes analyzer.reusableTokenStream, has to deal with a > wide variety (it's not analyzed; it is analyzed but it's a Reader, > String; it's pre-analyzed). > I'd like to have IW only interact with attr sources that already > arrived with the fields. This would be a powerful decoupling -- it > means others are free to make their own attr sources. > They need not even use any of Lucene's analysis impls; eg they can > integrate to other things like [OpenPipeline|http://www.openpipeline.org]. > Or make something completely custom. > LUCENE-2302 is already a big step towards this: it makes IW agnostic > about which attr is "the term", and only requires that it provide a > BytesRef (for flex). > Then I think LUCENE-2308 would get us most of the remaining way -- ie, if the > FieldType knows the analyzer to use, then we could simply create a > getAttrSource() method (say) on it and move all the logic IW has today > onto there. (We'd still need existing IW code for back-compat). -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: java-dev-unsubscr...@lucene.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: java-dev-h...@lucene.apache.org
