Writing Lucene analyzers - in Scala

[Alan Burlison <al...@gmail.com>]

I know this is the Lucene Java forum but it seemed vaguely appropriate. 
I'm using Lucene from Scala and I needed to subclass a couple of the 
analyzers to set the position increment gap. As the standard analysers 
in question were all final classes I couldn't simply subclass them. 
However it's perfectly possible to write Lucene analyzers entirely in 
Scala. For example, here's the standard KeywordAnalyzer written in Scala 
with a position increment gap of 100.

@throws(classOf[java.io.IOException])
class MultiKeywordAnalyzer extends Analyzer {
   override protected def createComponents(fieldName: String, reader: 
Reader):
    TokenStreamComponents = {
     new TokenStreamComponents(new KeywordTokenizer(reader))
   }
   override def getPositionIncrementGap(fieldName: String) = 100
}

Hopefully this might help someone in the future who googles to see if 
it's possible :-)
