I refactored it to have a few more tests, and all seems to work well.
It also includes the tests from TestSpanRegexQuery.java .
Two questions:
Can I assume the APL2 on Test{,Span}RegexQuery.java?
If so, I'll post the refactored version with it.
Yes, those files should have had APL2 in them, my apologies for
missing it.
To parse a regex query term, the surround parser will have to
be extended a bit so it recognizes a reasonable subset of the
java regular expressions.
Any preferences for the syntax for a regex term in the
surround parser?
I must admit that I haven't used the surround parser. For my custom
parser (a legacy syntax that no one here would want), I take any term
that has an *, ?, or [...] syntax as a regex term.
There are still some TODO's with the (Span)RegexQuery - such as being
wise about the prefix length. Right now it is not wise enough. I've
spent some time looking for a regex parser that could parse a regex
expression into an AST so that it could be used for determining the
last static character to start term enumeration. This would also
come in very handy in being able to rotate a regular expression
string to maximize the static prefix when indexing with an analyzer
that rotates terms. If anyone has suggestions/pointers to how this
could be accomplished, it'd be most appreciated!
