StopWordFilter isn't backwards compatible -----------------------------------------
Key: SOLR-594 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-594 Project: Solr Issue Type: Bug Affects Versions: 1.3 Reporter: Ronald Braun Priority: Minor Direct construction of StopWordFilter is not backwards compatible between 1.2 and 1.3. Here is some test code that throws a null pointer exception in 1.3 but that functions correctly in 1.2. TokenizerFactory tokenizer = new WhitespaceTokenizerFactory(); Map<String, String> args = new HashMap<String, String>(); args.put("ignoreCase", "true"); args.put("words", "stopwords.txt"); StopFilterFactory stopFilter = new StopFilterFactory(); stopFilter.init(args); args = new HashMap<String, String>(); args.put("generateWordParts", "1"); args.put("generateNumberParts", "1"); args.put("catenateWords", "0"); args.put("catenateNumbers", "0"); args.put("catenateAll", "0"); WordDelimiterFilterFactory wordFilter = new WordDelimiterFilterFactory(); wordFilter.init(args); TokenFilterFactory[] filters = new TokenFilterFactory[] {stopFilter, wordFilter }; TokenizerChain pipeline =TokenizerChain(tokenizer, filters); /*** throws a null pointer exception in 1.3: ***/ boolean onlyStopWords = pipeline.tokenStream(null, new StringReader(query)).next() == null; Hoss commented thusly in the solr forums (including a workaround): The short answer is: right after you call "stopFilter.init(args)" call "stopFilter.inform(solrCore.getSolrConfig().getResourceLoader());" This is an interesting use case that wasn't really considered when we switched away from using hte SolrCore singlton and the the ResourceLoaderAware interface was added. we made sure things would still work for people who had their own custom Analysis Factories, but some of the functionality in *existing* Factories was moved from the init() method to inform() ... which means the classes aren't technically backwards compatibly for people doing what you're doing: constructing them directly. When I have some more time, i'll spin up a thread on solr-dev to discuss what we should do about this -- n the mean time feel free to file a bug that StopFilter isn't backwards compatible. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
