## Class CollationKeyAnalyzer

- java.lang.Object
- - org.apache.lucene.analysis.Analyzer
  - - org.apache.lucene.collation.CollationKeyAnalyzer

All Implemented Interfaces:
  Closeable, AutoCloseable

    public final class CollationKeyAnalyzer
    extends Analyzer

Configures `KeywordTokenizer` with `CollationAttributeFactory`.

Converts the token into its `CollationKey`, and then encodes the CollationKey directly to allow it to be stored as an index term.

WARNING: Make sure you use exactly the same Collator at index and query time -- CollationKeys are only comparable when produced by the same Collator. Since `RuleBasedCollator`s are not independently versioned, it is unsafe to search against stored CollationKeys unless the following are exactly the same (best practice is to store this information with the index and check that they remain the same at query time):

1. JVM vendor
2. JVM version, including patch version
3. The language (and country and variant, if specified) of the Locale used when constructing the collator via `Collator.getInstance(java.util.Locale)`.
4. The collation strength used - see `Collator.setStrength(int)`

The `ICUCollationKeyAnalyzer` in the analysis-icu package uses ICU4J's Collator, which makes its version available, thus allowing collation to be versioned independently from the JVM. ICUCollationKeyAnalyzer is also significantly faster and generates significantly shorter keys than CollationKeyAnalyzer. See http://site.icu-project.org/charts/collation-icu4j-sun for key generation timing and key length comparisons between ICU4J and java.text.Collator over several languages.

CollationKeys generated by java.text.Collators are not compatible with those those generated by ICU Collators. Specifically, if you use CollationKeyAnalyzer to generate index terms, do not use ICUCollationKeyAnalyzer on the query side, or vice versa.
