Michael McCandless commented on LUCENE-6664:
--------------------------------------------
Thinking about this more, I think it's sort of silly to only expose the "always
flattened synonym filter" because that's really no better than today: you still
can't search multi-token synonyms correctly, and there are small differences in
how the graph corruption happens.
So I'd like to go back to the 2nd patch, where both filters are public. I'll
mark them experimental...

> I created a new SynonymGraphFilter (to replace the current buggy
> SynonymFilter), that produces correct graphs (does no "graph
> flattening" itself). I think this makes it simpler.
> This means you must add the FlattenGraphFilter yourself, if you are
> applying synonyms during indexing.
> Index-time syn expansion is a necessarily "lossy" graph transformation
> when multi-token (input or output) synonyms are applied, because the
> index does not store {{posLength}}, so there will always be phrase
> queries that should match but do not, and then phrase queries that
> should not match but do.
> http://blog.mikemccandless.com/2012/04/lucenes-tokenstreams-are-actually.html
> goes into detail about this.
> However, with this new SynonymGraphFilter, if instead you do synonym
> expansion at query time (and don't do the flattening), and you use
> TermAutomatonQuery (future: somehow integrated into a query parser),
> or maybe just "enumerate all paths and make union of PhraseQuery", you
> should get 100% correct matches (not sure about "proper" scoring
> though...).
> This new syn filter still cannot consume an arbitrary graph.
