Multi-word synonyms containing commas

["Agethle, Matthias" <Ma...@siag.it>]

Hi,

is it possible to have a synonym file where single synonyms can also contain commas, e.g. names like "Washington, George".
Perhaps it would suffice to tell the SynonymFilterFacotry to use another separator character (instead of the comma)?
I tried this and changed the line where the parseRules-method is called in the original implementation of SynonymFilterFactory (simply replacing "," with"#"),
but this didn't work as expected.

Thanks
Matthias

Ok, that works (now I found it also in the example synonyms-file...) 

But what if I overwrite the synonyms-file after SOLR-startup? 
Is core-reloading the only way to do this?
I think of this steps:

1. Generate new synonym-file
2. Reload core and wait a minute
3. Re-index (as I'm using synonyms at index time)

Sure, you just need to escape that comma. e.g. 
Washington\, George, wg
a\,a => b\,b
