All Implemented Interfaces:
Closeable, AutoCloseable
public final class StandardTokenizer extends Tokenizer
A grammar-based tokenizer constructed with JFlex.

As of Lucene version 3.1, this class implements the Word Break rules from the Unicode Text Segmentation algorithm, as specified in Unicode Standard Annex #29.

Many applications have specific tokenizer needs. If this tokenizer does not suit your application, please consider copying this source code directory to your project and maintaining your own grammar-based tokenizer.

You must specify the required Version compatibility when creating StandardTokenizer:

  • As of 3.4, Hiragana and Han characters are no longer wrongly split from their combining characters. If you use a previous version number, you get the exact broken behavior for backwards compatibility.
  • As of 3.1, StandardTokenizer implements Unicode text segmentation. If you use a previous version number, you get the exact behavior of ClassicTokenizer for backwards compatibility.

    • setMaxTokenLength

      public void setMaxTokenLength(int length)
      Set the max allowed token length. Any token longer than this is skipped.

    • getMaxTokenLength

      public int getMaxTokenLength()

    • incrementToken

      public final boolean incrementToken() throws 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:
      IOException

    • end

      public final void end() throws IOException
      Description copied from class: TokenStream
      This method is called by the consumer after the last token has been consumed, after TokenStream.incrementToken() returned false (using the new TokenStream API). Streams implementing the old API should upgrade to use this feature.

      This method can be used to perform any end-of-stream operations, such as setting the final offset of a stream. The final offset of a stream might differ from the offset of the last token eg in case one or more whitespaces followed after the last token, but a WhitespaceTokenizer was used.

      Additionally any skipped positions (such as those removed by a stopfilter) can be applied to the position increment, or any adjustment of other attributes where the end-of-stream value may be important.

      If you override this method, always call super.end().

      Overrides:
      end in class TokenStream
      Throws:
      IOException - If an I/O error occurs

    • close

      public void close() throws IOException
      Description copied from class: Tokenizer
      Releases resources associated with this stream.

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

      NOTE: The default implementation closes the input Reader, so be sure to call super.close() when overriding this method.

      Specified by:
      close in interface AutoCloseable
      Specified by:
      close in interface Closeable
      Overrides:
      close in class Tokenizer
      Throws:
      IOException

    • reset

      public void reset() throws IOException
      Description copied from class: TokenStream
      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).

      Overrides:
      reset in class Tokenizer
      Throws:
      IOException
