Robert Muir commented on SOLR-1860:
-----------------------------------

bq. Either we can setup a simple export and conversion to the format Solr 
currently supports now, and if/when someon updates StopFilterFactory to support 
the new format, then we can stop converting when we export

Well, this isn't that big of a deal either way. 

In Lucene we have a helper class called WordListLoader that supports loading 
this format from an InputStream.

One idea to consider: we could try merging some of what SolrResourceLoader does 
with this WordListLoader, then its all tested and in one place. 
it appears there might be some duplication of effort here... e.g. how long till 
a lucene user complains about UTF-8 bom markers in their stoplists :)

We can still use ant to keep the files in sync automatically from the lucene 
copies.

> Currently Solr makes it easy to use english stopwords for StopFilter or 
> CommonGramsFilter.
> Recently in lucene, we added stopwords lists (mostly, but not all from 
> snowball) to all the language analyzers.
> So it would be nice if a user can easily specify that they want to use a 
> french stopword list, and use it for StopFilter or CommonGrams.
> The ones from snowball, are however formatted in a different manner than the 
> others (although in Lucene we have parsers to deal with this).
> Additionally, we abstract this from Lucene users by adding a static 
> getDefaultStopSet to all analyzers.
> There are two approaches, the first one I think I prefer the most, but I'm 
> not sure it matters as long as we have good examples (maybe a foreign 
> language example schema?)
> 1. The user would specify something like:
>  <filter class="solr.StopFilterFactory" 
> fromAnalyzer="org.apache.lucene.analysis.FrenchAnalyzer" .../>
>  This would just grab the CharArraySet from the FrenchAnalyzer's 
> getDefaultStopSet method, who cares where it comes from or how its loaded.
> 2. We add support for snowball-formatted stopwords lists, and the user could 
> something like:
> <filter class="solr.StopFilterFactory" 
> words="org/apache/lucene/analysis/snowball/french_stop.txt" format="snowball" 
> ... />
> The disadvantage to this is they have to know where the list is, what format 
> its in, etc. For example: snowball doesn't provide Romanian or Turkish
> stopword lists to go along with their stemmers, so we had to add our own.
> Let me know what you guys think, and I will create a patch.
