public final class ArabicStemFilter
extends TokenFilter

A TokenFilter that applies ArabicStemmer to stem Arabic words..

To prevent terms from being stemmed use an instance of KeywordMarkerFilter or a custom TokenFilter that sets the KeywordAttribute before this TokenStream.

Description copied from class: TokenStream

Consumers (i.e., IndexWriter) use this method to advance the stream to the next token. Implementing classes must implement this method and update the appropriate AttributeImpls with the attributes of the next token.

The producer must make no assumptions about the attributes after the method has been returned: the caller may arbitrarily change it. If the producer needs to preserve the state for subsequent calls, it can use AttributeSource.captureState() to create a copy of the current attribute state.

This method is called for every token of a document, so an efficient implementation is crucial for good performance. To avoid calls to AttributeSource.addAttribute(Class) and AttributeSource.getAttribute(Class), references to all AttributeImpls that this stream uses should be retrieved during instantiation.

To ensure that filters and consumers know which attributes are available, the attributes must be added during instantiation. Filters and consumers are not required to check for availability of attributes in TokenStream.incrementToken().

Specified by:

incrementToken in class TokenStream

Returns:

false for end of stream; true otherwise

Throws:

IOException
