Adrien Grand commented on LUCENE-4766:
--------------------------------------

bq. I just wonder if we really should restrict our TF to not fix offsets? Kind 
of an odd thing though. What should a tokenfilter like this do instead?

I think that for some examples, it makes sense not to fix offsets? In the case 
of the URL example ({{(https?://([a-zA-Z\-_0-9.]+))}}), I think it makes sense 
to highlight the whole URL (including the leading http(s)://) even if the query 
term is just {{www.mysite.com}}. On the other hand, it could be weird if the 
goal was to split a long CamelCase token (letsPartyLIKEits1999_dude), but maybe 
this should be done by a Tokenizer rather than a TokenFilter?

(No strong feeling here, I'd just like to see if we can find a way to commit 
this patch without having to grow our TokenFilter exclusion list.)

> The PatternTokenizer either functions by splitting on matches, or allows you 
> to specify a single capture group.  This is insufficient for my needs. Quite 
> often I want to capture multiple overlapping tokens in the same position.
> I've written a pattern token filter which accepts multiple patterns and emits 
> tokens for every capturing group that is matched in any pattern.
> Patterns are not anchored to the beginning and end of the string, so each 
> pattern can produce multiple matches.
> For instance a pattern like :
> {code}
>     "(([a-z]+)(\d*))"
> {code}
> when matched against: 
> {code}
>     "abc123def456"
> {code}
> would produce the tokens:
> {code}
>     abc123, abc, 123, def456, def, 456
> {code}
> Multiple patterns can be applied, eg these patterns could be used for 
> camelCase analysis:
> {code}
>     "([A-Z]{2,})",
>     "(?<![A-Z])([A-Z][a-z]+)",
>     "(?:^|\\b|(?<=[0-9_])|(?<=[A-Z]{2}))([a-z]+)",
>     "([0-9]+)"
> {code}
> When matched against the string "letsPartyLIKEits1999_dude", they would 
> produce the tokens:
> {code}
>     lets, Party, LIKE, its, 1999, dude
> {code}
> If no token is emitted, the original token is preserved. 
> If the preserveOriginal flag is true, it will output the full original token 
> (ie "letsPartyLIKEits1999_dude") in addition to any matching tokens (but in 
> this case, if a matching token is identical to the original, it will only 
> emit one copy of the full token).
> Multiple patterns are required to allow overlapping captures, but also means 
> that patterns are less dense and easier to understand.
> This is my first Java code, so apologies if I'm doing something stupid.
