[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=12830816#action_12830816 ] 

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

Not a fan of the API - i.e. LevenshteinResults should be an immutable return, not a mutable passed in. setXxx methods should be removed.

I'd also be tempted to retcon the old API on top of the new one - slows it down a bit, though a private method with a boolean 'collateResults' parameter could be used to keep things largely optimized.

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