Chris Harris commented on LUCENE-1370:
--------------------------------------
At the risk of being annoying, is there any chance this patch (perhaps slightly
refined, if you guys want) could make it into Lucene 3.0? I think I'm not the
only person who wants to use the ShingleFilter in this slightly way. For
example, I just noticed that the new Solr 1.4 Enterprise Search Server book (on
p. 288) makes brief mention of SOLR-744, which depends on this patch. I'm fine
keeping this out of the Lucene distribution if people think
ShingleFilter.outputUnigrams is a silly hack and there's a better way to get
the job done. But if this captures a legitimate use case, are there compelling
reasons to keep it out?
Thanks.

> Currently if ShingleFilter.outputUnigrams==false and the underlying token
> stream is only one token long, then ShingleFilter.next() won't return any
> tokens. This patch provides a new option, outputUnigramIfNoNgrams; if this
> option is set and the underlying stream is only one token long, then
> ShingleFilter will return that token, regardless of the setting of
> outputUnigrams.
> My use case here is speeding up phrase queries. The technique is as follows:
> First, doing index-time analysis using ShingleFilter (using
> outputUnigrams==true), thereby expanding things as follows:
> "please divide this sentence into shingles" ->
> "please", "please divide"
> "divide", "divide this"
> "this", "this sentence"
> "sentence", "sentence into"
> "into", "into shingles"
> "shingles"
> Second, do query-time analysis using ShingleFilter (using
> outputUnigrams==false and outputUnigramIfNoNgrams==true). If the user enters
> a phrase query, it will get tokenized in the following manner:
> "please divide this sentence into shingles" ->
> "please divide"
> "divide this"
> "this sentence"
> "sentence into"
> "into shingles"
> By doing phrase queries with bigrams like this, I can gain a very
> considerable speedup. Without the outputUnigramIfNoNgrams option, then a
> single word query would tokenize like this:
> "please" ->
> [no tokens]
> But thanks to outputUnigramIfNoNgrams, single words will now tokenize like
> this:
> "please" ->
> "please"
> ****
> The patch also adds a little to the pre-outputUnigramIfNoNgrams option tests.
> ****
> I'm not sure if the patch in this state is useful to anyone else, but I
> thought I should throw it up here and try to find out.
