All terms must already be lowercased for this filter to work correctly.

Note: This filter is aware of the KeywordAttribute. To prevent certain terms from being passed to the stemmer KeywordAttribute.isKeyword() should be set to true in a previous TokenStream. Note: For including the original term as well as the stemmed version, see KeywordRepeatFilterFactory
