Reposting, as I inadvertently thread hijacked on the first one. My bad. Hi all,
I have a handful of custom classes that we've created for our purposes here. I'd like to share them if you think they have value for the rest of the community, but I wanted to check here before creating JIRA tickets and patches. Here's what I have: 1. DoubleMetaphoneFilter and Factory. This replaces usage of the PhoneticFilter and Factory allowing access to set maxCodeLength() on the DoubleMetaphone encoder and access to the "alternate" encodings that the encoder provides for some words. 2. JapaneseHalfWidthFilter and Factory. Some Japanese characters (and Latin alphabet) exist in both a FullWidth and HalfWidth form. This filter normalizes by switching to the FullWidth form for all the characters. I have seen at least one JIRA ticket about this issue. This implementation doesn't rely on Java 1.6. 3. JapaneseHiraganaFilter and Factory. Japanese Hiragana can be translated to Katakana. This filter normalizes to Katakana so that data and queries can come in either way and get hits. Also, I have been requested to create a prototype that you may be interested in. I'm to construct a QueryResponseWriter that returns documents using Google's Protocol Buffers. This would rely on an existing patch that exposes the OutputStream, but I would like to start the work soon. Are there license concerns that would block sharing this with you? Is there any interest in this? Thanks for your consideration, Todd Feak
