[jira] Commented: (LANG-591) A more complex Levenshtein distance would be useful

["Henri Yandell (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LANG-591?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12889588#action_12889588 ] 

Henri Yandell commented on LANG-591:
------------------------------------

Sorry for not picking up on the revised patch.

Any reason why the API isn't:

    public static LevenshteinResults getLevenshteinDistance(CharSequence s, CharSequence t)?

I would also delete the setXyz methods on the Results object. They're not used and I don't see any value in being able to edit the results object.

Otherwise it looks good to me :)

> For some applications, it is necessary to get insert/delete/substitution counts from the distance algorithm. I am attaching a patch that provides this.
