What is your use case? If you don't have a specific use case in mind, try each of them with some common words that you expect will or won't be stemmed. If you have Solr, you can experiment interactively using the Solr Admin Analysis web page.

It would be nice if the javadoc for each stemmer gave a handful of examples that illustrated how some common words are stemmed.

Subject: Which stemmer?

Does anyone have any experience with the stemmers? I know that Porter is what "everyone" uses. Am I better off with KStemFilter (better performance) or ?? Does anyone understand the differences between the various stemmers and how to choose one over another?
