Grant Ingersoll commented on LUCENE-1297: ----------------------------------------- Patch applies cleanly and the tests pass. Ideally, there would be standalone tests for each of the distance measures that test them outside the context of spell checking. I think the Jaro-Winkler threshold should be configurable via a setter/constructor. A getter would make sense too, so that one can see what the threshold is. Also, the TRStringDistance explicitly states that it is not thread safe. I believe it is now being used in a non thread-safe manner. FWIW, I see no reason why it can't be made thread-safe. All of those member variables are being allocated in the getDistance method, so no reason not to just make them local variables, I think. > Allow other string distance measures in spellchecker > ---------------------------------------------------- > > Key: LUCENE-1297 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-1297 > Project: Lucene - Java > Issue Type: New Feature > Components: contrib/spellchecker > Affects Versions: 2.4 > Environment: n/a > Reporter: Thomas Morton > Assignee: Otis Gospodnetic > Priority: Minor > Fix For: 2.4 > > Attachments: string_distance3.patch > > > Updated spelling code to allow for other string distance measures to be used. > Created StringDistance interface. > Modified existing Levenshtein distance measure to implement interface (and > renamed class). > Verified that change to Levenshtein distance didn't impact runtime > performance. > Implemented Jaro/Winkler distance metric > Modified SpellChecker to take distacne measure as in constructor or in set > method and to use interface when calling. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
