[jira] [Commented] (LUCENE-4019) Parsing Hunspell affix rules
without regexp condition
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-4019?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13269516#comment-13269516 ]
Luca Cavanna commented on LUCENE-4019:
--------------------------------------
Thank you Robert for the explanation!
In this specific case it's hard to understand the differences between hunspell and Lucene, since Lucene doesn't even parse the affix file.
I've been in contact with the authors of those Ducth dictionaries, as well as with the hunspell author. It turned out that those affix rules are wrong and hunspell actually ignores them. I think it's better to ignore them in Lucene too, rather than throwing an exception, which makes impossible to use those dictionaries at all.

> Key: LUCENE-4019
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-4019
> Project: Lucene - Java
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: modules/analysis
> Affects Versions: 3.6
> Reporter: Luca Cavanna
>
> We found out that some recent Dutch hunspell dictionaries contain suffix or prefix rules like the following:
> {code}
> SFX Na N 1
> SFX Na 0 ste
> {code}
> The rule on the second line doesn't contain the 5th parameter, which should be the condition (a regexp usually). You can usually see a '.' as condition, meaning always (for every character). As explained in LUCENE-3976 the readAffix method throws error. I wonder if we should treat the missing value as a kind of default value, like '.'. On the other hand I haven't found any information about this within the spec. Any thoughts?
