Chris has made a ton of progress here, I think we are very close, though it 
would be good revisit LUCENE-2788 in the future and ensure that for 4.0 
charfilters have a reusable API as well (this is currently not the case).

 Project: Lucene - Java
  Issue Type: Bug
  Components: modules/analysis
Affects Versions: 3.1
Reporter: Ian Soboroff

 LUCENE-2372 and LUCENE-2389 marked all analyzers as final.  This makes 
 ReusableAnalyzerBase useless, and makes it impossible to subclass e.g. 
 StandardAnalyzer to make a small modification e.g. to tokenStream().  These 
 issues don't indicate a new method of doing this.  The issues don't give a 
 reason except for design considerations, which seems a poor reason to make a 
 backward-incompatible change

Also, if reusableTokenStream is the only method left standing, isn't it wise to 
hide actual reuse somewhere in Lucene internals and turn Analyzer into plain 
and dumb factory interface?
{quote}

Hi Earwin: I completely agree that somehow Analyzer should be a plain and 
dumb interface, but are you suggesting we should move the responsibility of 
reuse onto the consumer? I think this could be challenging, alternatively there 
might be a way to present a plain and dumb API with the reuse guts buried 
inside Analyzer itself (like ReusableAnalyzerBase), and reuse enforced (e.g. 
the tokenStream() is final and you cannot disable reuse). The trick would be 
handling the special cases such as AnalyzerWrappers but I feel like we could 
still do this.

Either way, I really think we should try to do this for 4.0. Though I think to 
get there it would be safest if we addressed a few issues first:

* LUCENE-2788: make charfilters reusable, otherwise we will make the same 
mistake again!
* LUCENE-3064: ensure consumers are properly using the API e.g. calling reset()
* LUCENE-3040: cut all consumers over to reusable API, so its really the one 
left standing

Could anyone remind me, why the hell do we still have Analyzer.tokenStream AND 
reusableTokenStream rampaging around and confusing minds? We always recommend 
to use the latter, Robert just fixed some of the core classes to use the latter.

Also, if reusableTokenStream is the only method left standing, isn't it wise to 
hide actual reuse somewhere in Lucene internals and turn Analyzer into plain 
and dumb factory interface?

Hi Ian, you are right the justifications don't totally explain the reasoning 
behind this change.

From my perspective the most important reason is to avoid a huge performance 
trap: previously if you subclassed one of these analyzers, override 
tokenStream(), and added SpecialFilter for example, most of the time users 
would actually slow down indexing, because now reusableTokenStream() cannot be 
used by the indexer.

This created worst-case situations like LUCENE-2279.

Instead, the recommended approach is to just let analyzers be tokenstream 
factories (which is all they are). They aren't really extendable only 
overridable since they are just factories for tokenstreams, and by doing so 
it creates the worst-case performance trap where new objects are created for 
every document. I would instead recommend writing your analyzer by extending 
ReusableAnalyzerBase instead, which is easy and safe:
{noformat}
Analyzer analyzer = new ReusableAnalyzerBase() {
  protected TokenStreamComponents createComponents(String fieldName, Reader 
reader) {
Tokenizer tokenizer = new WhitespaceTokenizer(...);
TokenStream filteredStream = new FooTokenFilter(tokenizer, ...);
filteredStream = new BarTokenFilter(filteredStream, ...);
return new TokenStreamComponents(tokenizer, filteredStream);
  }
};
{noformat}

Additionally, exactly this special case (overwriting one of the methods) was 
the biggest problem, leading to ugly reflection based checks in Lucene 3.0: In 
3.0 StandardAnalyzer correctly implemented both tokenStream() and 
reuseableTokenStream(). As soon as one subclass only overrided tokenStream(), 
but the indexer still calling reuseableTokenStream() the changes were not even 
used, leading to lots of bug reports. Because of this, a reflection based 
backwards hack was done in 3.0 (see o.a.l.util.VirtualMethod class to make this 
easier), that prevented the indexer from calling reuseableTokenStream if a 
subclass suddenly overwrote only one of the methods. With moving forward in 
3.1, these backwards hacks even got heavier (e.g. changes in TokenStreams, new 
base class ReuseableAnalyzerBase,...), so the only solution was to enforce the 
decorator pattern.

The above example by Robert is the correct way to implement you factory of 
TokenStreams. Everything else like subclassing StandardAnalyzer is ugly as it 
hides what you are really doing. The above pattern does exactly what also 
Solr's Schemadoes: You have to explicitely list all your components, making it 
clear what your TokenStreams are doing.

Trust me, the above example is shorter than subclassing previous 
StandardAnalyzer completely (both tokenStream and reuseableTokenStream) and is 
showing like solrschema.xml what your Analyzer looks like (no hidden stuff in 
superfactories,...)
