Michael McCandless commented on LUCENE-2167:
--------------------------------------------

Would it somehow be possible to allow multiple Tokenizers to work together?

Today we only allow one (and then any number of subsequent TokenFilters) in the 
chain, so if your Tokenizer destroys information (eg erases the . from the host 
name) it's hard for subsequent TokenFilters to put them back.

But if, say, we had a Tokenizer that recognizes hostnames/URLs, one that 
recognizes email addresses, one for proper names/places/date/time, other app 
dependent stuff like detecting part numbers and what not, then ideally one 
could simply cascade/compose these tokenizers at will to build up whatever 
"initial" tokenizer you need for you chain?

I think our current lack of composability of the initial tokenizer ("there can 
be only one") makes cases like this hard...

> It would be really nice for StandardTokenizer to adhere straight to the 
> standard as much as we can with jflex. Then its name would actually make 
> sense.
> Such a transition would involve renaming the old StandardTokenizer to 
> EuropeanTokenizer, as its javadoc claims:
> bq. This should be a good tokenizer for most European-language documents
> The new StandardTokenizer could then say
> bq. This should be a good tokenizer for most languages.
> All the english/euro-centric stuff like the acronym/company/apostrophe stuff 
> can stay with that EuropeanTokenizer, and it could be used by the european 
> analyzers.
