Class ICUCollationKeyAnalyzer

java.lang.Object

org.apache.lucene.analysis.Analyzer

org.apache.lucene.collation.ICUCollationKeyAnalyzer

All Implemented Interfaces:

Closeable

public final class ICUCollationKeyAnalyzer
extends Analyzer

Filters KeywordTokenizer with ICUCollationKeyFilter.

Converts the token into its CollationKey, and then encodes the CollationKey with IndexableBinaryStringTools, to allow it to be stored as an index term.

WARNING: Make sure you use exactly the same Collator at index and query time -- CollationKeys are only comparable when produced by the same Collator. RuleBasedCollators are independently versioned, so it is safe to search against stored CollationKeys if the following are exactly the same (best practice is to store this information with the index and check that they remain the same at query time):

1. Collator version - see Collator.getVersion()
2. The collation strength used - see Collator.setStrength(int)

CollationKeys generated by ICU Collators are not compatible with those generated by java.text.Collators. Specifically, if you use ICUCollationKeyAnalyzer to generate index terms, do not use CollationKeyAnalyzer on the query side, or vice versa.

ICUCollationKeyAnalyzer is significantly faster and generates significantly shorter keys than CollationKeyAnalyzer. See http://site.icu-project.org/charts/collation-icu4j-sun for key generation timing and key length comparisons between ICU4J and java.text.Collator over several languages.

Method Detail

tokenStream

public TokenStream tokenStream(String fieldName,
                      Reader reader)

Description copied from class: Analyzer

Creates a TokenStream which tokenizes all the text in the provided Reader. Must be able to handle null field name for backward compatibility.

Specified by:

tokenStream in class Analyzer

reusableTokenStream

public TokenStream reusableTokenStream(String fieldName,
                              Reader reader)
                                throws IOException

Description copied from class: Analyzer

Creates a TokenStream that is allowed to be re-used from the previous time that the same thread called this method. Callers that do not need to use more than one TokenStream at the same time from this analyzer should use this method for better performance.

Throws:

IOException
