Robert Muir commented on LUCENE-2747:
-------------------------------------
bq. You removed TestHindiFilters.testTokenizer(),
TestIndicTokenizer.testBasics() and TestIndicTokenizer.testFormat(), but these
would be useful in TestStandardAnalyzer and TestUAX29Tokenizer, wouldn't they?
oh, i just deleted everything associated with that tokenizer...
bq. You did not remove ArabicLetterTokenizer and IndicTokenizer, presumably so
that they can be used with Lucene 4.0+ when the supplied Version is less than
3.1 - good catch, I had forgotten this requirement - but when can we actually
get rid of these? Since they will be staying, shouldn't their tests remain too,
but using Version.LUCENE_30 instead of TEST_VERSION_CURRENT?
i removed the indictokenizer (unreleased) and deleted its tests.
but i kept and deprecated the arabic one, since we have released it.

> Project: Lucene - Java
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Analysis
> Affects Versions: 3.1, 4.0
> Reporter: Steven Rowe
> Fix For: 3.1, 4.0

> As of Lucene 3.1, StandardTokenizer implements UAX#29 word boundary rules to
> provide language-neutral tokenization. Lucene contains several
> language-specific tokenizers that should be replaced by UAX#29-based
> StandardTokenizer (deprecated in 3.1 and removed in 4.0). The
> language-specific *analyzers*, by contrast, should remain, because they
> contain language-specific post-tokenization filters. The language-specific
> analyzers should switch to StandardTokenizer in 3.1.
> Some usages of language-specific tokenizers will need additional work beyond
> just replacing the tokenizer in the language-specific analyzer.
> For example, PersianAnalyzer currently uses ArabicLetterTokenizer, and
> depends on the fact that this tokenizer breaks tokens on the ZWNJ character
> (zero-width non-joiner; U+200C), but in the UAX#29 word boundary rules, ZWNJ
> is not a word boundary. Robert Muir has suggested using a char filter
> converting ZWNJ to spaces prior to StandardTokenizer in the converted
> PersianAnalyzer.
