Class ThaiWordFilter

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    java.io.Closeable, java.lang.AutoCloseable

    public final class ThaiWordFilter
    extends TokenFilter
    TokenFilter that use BreakIterator to break each Token that is Thai into separate Token(s) for each Thai word.

    Please note: Since matchVersion 3.1 on, this filter no longer lowercases non-thai text. ThaiAnalyzer will insert a LowerCaseFilter before this filter so the behaviour of the Analyzer does not change. With version 3.1, the filter handles position increments correctly.

    WARNING: this filter may not be supported by all JREs. It is known to work with Sun/Oracle and Harmony JREs. If your application needs to be fully portable, consider using ICUTokenizer instead, which uses an ICU Thai BreakIterator that will always be available.

    • Field Detail

      • DBBI_AVAILABLE

        public static final boolean DBBI_AVAILABLE
        True if the JRE supports a working dictionary-based breakiterator for Thai. If this is false, this filter will not work at all!

        public ThaiWordFilter​(Version matchVersion,
                              TokenStream input)
        Creates a new ThaiWordFilter with the specified match version.

      • incrementToken

        public boolean incrementToken()
                               throws java.io.IOException
        Description copied from class: TokenStream
        Consumers (i.e., IndexWriter) use this method to advance the stream to the next token. Implementing classes must implement this method and update the appropriate AttributeImpls with the attributes of the next token.

        The producer must make no assumptions about the attributes after the method has been returned: the caller may arbitrarily change it. If the producer needs to preserve the state for subsequent calls, it can use AttributeSource.captureState() to create a copy of the current attribute state.

        This method is called for every token of a document, so an efficient implementation is crucial for good performance. To avoid calls to AttributeSource.addAttribute(Class) and AttributeSource.getAttribute(Class), references to all AttributeImpls that this stream uses should be retrieved during instantiation.

        To ensure that filters and consumers know which attributes are available, the attributes must be added during instantiation. Filters and consumers are not required to check for availability of attributes in TokenStream.incrementToken().

        Specified by:
        incrementToken in class TokenStream
        Returns:
        false for end of stream; true otherwise
        Throws:
        java.io.IOException
      • reset

        public void reset()
                   throws java.io.IOException
        Description copied from class: TokenFilter
        This method is called by a consumer before it begins consumption using TokenStream.incrementToken().

        Resets this stream to a clean state. Stateful implementations must implement this method so that they can be reused, just as if they had been created fresh.

        If you override this method, always call super.reset(), otherwise some internal state will not be correctly reset (e.g., Tokenizer will throw IllegalStateException on further usage).

        NOTE: The default implementation chains the call to the input TokenStream, so be sure to call super.reset() when overriding this method.

        Overrides:
        reset in class TokenFilter
        Throws:
        java.io.IOException
