[jira] Commented: (LUCENE-2644) LowerCaseTokenizer Does Not Behave As One Might Expect (or Desire)--Given Its Name

["Robert Muir (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-2644?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12922383#action_12922383 ] 

Robert Muir commented on LUCENE-2644:
-------------------------------------

I don't understand this issue, to me the LowerCaseTokenizer explains clearly what it does:

{noformat}
 * LowerCaseTokenizer performs the function of LetterTokenizer
 * and LowerCaseFilter together.  It divides text at non-letters and converts
 * them to lower case.
{noformat}

I think there is a lot of other options if you want to customize tokenization by numbers, punctuation etc, especially Solr's WordDelimiterFilter.

>          Issue Type: Bug
>          Components: Analysis
>    Affects Versions: 3.0.2
>            Reporter: Scott Gonyea
>             Fix For: 4.0

>         Attachments: LowerCaseTokenizer.patch

>
> While I understand some of the reasons for its design, the original LowerCaseTokenizer should have been named LowerCaseLetterTokenizer.
> I feel that LowerCaseTokenizer makes too many assumptions about what too tokenize, and I have therefore patched it.  The *default* behavior will remain as it always has--to avoid breaking any implementations for which it's being used.
> I have changed LowerCaseTokenizer to extend CharTokenizer (rather than LetterTokenizer).  LetterTokenizer's functionality was merged into the default behavior of LowerCaseTokenizer.
> Getter/Setter methods have been added to the LowerCaseTokenizer Class, allowing you to turn on / off tokenizing by white space, numbers, and special (Non-Alpha/Numeric) characters.
