[jira] Updated: (SOLR-822) CharFilter - normalize characters before tokenizer

["Mark Bennett (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

Mark Bennett updated SOLR-822:
------------------------------

    Attachment: japanese-h-to-k-mapping.txt

In SOLR-814 it was suggested that some systems might want to normalizes all Hiragana characters to their Katakana counterpart.

Although this is not universally agreed to, *if* somebody wanted to do it, I believe this mapping file would peform that task when used with this 822 patch.  I don't speak Japanese and don't have test content yet, so I'm not 100% it works, but wanted to upload it as a start.

> A new plugin which can be placed in front of <tokenizer/>.
> {code:xml}
> <fieldType name="textCharNorm" class="solr.TextField" positionIncrementGap="100" >
>   <analyzer>
>     <charFilter class="solr.MappingCharFilterFactory" mapping="mapping_ja.txt" />
>     <tokenizer class="solr.MappingCJKTokenizerFactory"/>
>     <filter class="solr.StopFilterFactory" ignoreCase="true" words="stopwords.txt"/>

> {code}
> <charFilter/> can be multiple (chained). I'll post a JPEG file to show character normalization sample soon.
> MOTIVATION:
> In Japan, there are two types of tokenizers -- N-gram (CJKTokenizer) and Morphological Analyzer.
> When we use morphological analyzer, because the analyzer uses Japanese dictionary to detect terms,
> we need to normalize characters before tokenization.
> I'll post a patch soon, too.
