Steven Rowe resolved LUCENE-2644.
---------------------------------
Resolution: Won't Fix
Fix Version/s: (was: 4.1)
Scott, I agree with [~rcmuir] - LowerCaseTokenizer has been around since at
least 2001 (when Lucene came to the ASF) with well-defined behavior.
I think the way forward here is to make a new issue that creates a new
tokenizer performing the things you want to see, with a new name.
Resolving as Won't Fix.
> LowerCaseTokenizer Does Not Behave As One Might Expect (or Desire)--Given Its
> Name
> ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: LUCENE-2644
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-2644
> Project: Lucene - Core
> Issue Type: Wish
> Components: modules/analysis
> Affects Versions: 3.0.2
> Reporter: Scott Gonyea
> Attachments: LowerCaseTokenizer.patch
>
>
> While I understand some of the reasons for its design, the original
> LowerCaseTokenizer should have been named LowerCaseLetterTokenizer.
> I feel that LowerCaseTokenizer makes too many assumptions about what too
> tokenize, and I have therefore patched it. The *default* behavior will
> remain as it always has--to avoid breaking any implementations for which it's
> being used.
> I have changed LowerCaseTokenizer to extend CharTokenizer (rather than
> LetterTokenizer). LetterTokenizer's functionality was merged into the
> default behavior of LowerCaseTokenizer.
> Getter/Setter methods have been added to the LowerCaseTokenizer Class,
> allowing you to turn on / off tokenizing by white space, numbers, and special
> (Non-Alpha/Numeric) characters.
