## Class Analyzer

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

- All Implemented Interfaces:
    Closeable, AutoCloseable
  Direct Known Subclasses:
    AnalyzerWrapper, StopwordAnalyzerBase

      public abstract class Analyzer
      extends Object
      implements Closeable

  An Analyzer builds TokenStreams, which analyze text. It thus represents a policy for extracting index terms from text.

  In order to define what analysis is done, subclasses must define their `TokenStreamComponents` in `createComponents(String)`. The components are then reused in each call to `tokenStream(String, Reader)`.

  Simple example:

       Analyzer analyzer = new Analyzer() {
        @Override
         protected TokenStreamComponents createComponents(String fieldName) {
           Tokenizer source = new FooTokenizer(reader);
           TokenStream filter = new FooFilter(source);
           filter = new BarFilter(filter);
           return new TokenStreamComponents(source, filter);
         }
         @Override
         protected TokenStream normalize(TokenStream in) {
           // Assuming FooFilter is about normalization and BarFilter is about
           // stemming, only FooFilter should be applied
           return new FooFilter(in);
         }
       };

  For more examples, see the `Analysis package documentation`.

          public static final Analyzer.ReuseStrategy GLOBAL_REUSE_STRATEGY

      A predefined `Analyzer.ReuseStrategy` that reuses the same components for every field.

    - #### PER_FIELD_REUSE_STRATEGY

          public static final Analyzer.ReuseStrategy PER_FIELD_REUSE_STRATEGY

      A predefined `Analyzer.ReuseStrategy` that reuses components per-field by maintaining a Map of TokenStreamComponent per field name.

  - ### Constructor Detail

    - #### Analyzer

          public Analyzer()

      Create a new Analyzer, reusing the same set of components per-thread across calls to `tokenStream(String, Reader)`.

    - #### Analyzer

          public Analyzer(Analyzer.ReuseStrategy reuseStrategy)

      Expert: create a new Analyzer with a custom `Analyzer.ReuseStrategy`.

      NOTE: if you just want to reuse on a per-field basis, it's easier to use a subclass of `AnalyzerWrapper` such as PerFieldAnalyerWrapper instead.

  - ### Method Detail

    - #### createComponents

          protected abstract Analyzer.TokenStreamComponents createComponents(String fieldName)

      Creates a new `Analyzer.TokenStreamComponents` instance for this analyzer.
      Parameters:
        `fieldName` - the name of the fields content passed to the `Analyzer.TokenStreamComponents` sink as a reader
      Returns:
        the `Analyzer.TokenStreamComponents` for this analyzer.

    - #### normalize

          protected TokenStream normalize(String fieldName,
                                          TokenStream in)

      Wrap the given `TokenStream` in order to apply normalization filters. The default implementation returns the `TokenStream` as-is. This is used by `normalize(String, String)`.

    - #### tokenStream

          public final TokenStream tokenStream(String fieldName,
                                               Reader reader)

      Returns a TokenStream suitable for `fieldName`, tokenizing the contents of `reader`.

      This method uses `createComponents(String)` to obtain an instance of `Analyzer.TokenStreamComponents`. It returns the sink of the components and stores the components internally. Subsequent calls to this method will reuse the previously stored components after resetting them through `Analyzer.TokenStreamComponents.setReader(Reader)`.

      NOTE: After calling this method, the consumer must follow the workflow described in `TokenStream` to properly consume its contents. See the `Analysis package documentation` for some examples demonstrating this. NOTE: If your data is available as a `String`, use `tokenStream(String, String)` which reuses a `StringReader`-like instance internally.

      Parameters:
        `fieldName` - the name of the field the created TokenStream is used for
        `reader` - the reader the streams source reads from
      Returns:
        TokenStream for iterating the analyzed content of `reader`
      Throws:
        `AlreadyClosedException` - if the Analyzer is closed.
      See Also:
        `tokenStream(String, String)`

    - #### tokenStream

          public final TokenStream tokenStream(String fieldName,
                                               String text)

      Returns a TokenStream suitable for `fieldName`, tokenizing the contents of `text`.

      This method uses `createComponents(String)` to obtain an instance of `Analyzer.TokenStreamComponents`. It returns the sink of the components and stores the components internally. Subsequent calls to this method will reuse the previously stored components after resetting them through `Analyzer.TokenStreamComponents.setReader(Reader)`.

      NOTE: After calling this method, the consumer must follow the workflow described in `TokenStream` to properly consume its contents. See the `Analysis package documentation` for some examples demonstrating this.

      Parameters:
        `fieldName` - the name of the field the created TokenStream is used for
        `text` - the String the streams source reads from
      Returns:
        TokenStream for iterating the analyzed content of `reader`
      Throws:
        `AlreadyClosedException` - if the Analyzer is closed.
      See Also:
        `tokenStream(String, Reader)`

    - #### normalize

          public final BytesRef normalize(String fieldName,
                                          String text)

      Normalize a string down to the representation that it would have in the index.

      This is typically used by query parsers in order to generate a query on a given term, without tokenizing or stemming, which are undesirable if the string to analyze is a partial word (eg. in case of a wildcard or fuzzy query).

      This method uses `initReaderForNormalization(String, Reader)` in order to apply necessary character-level normalization and then `normalize(String, TokenStream)` in order to apply the normalizing token filters.

    - #### initReader

          protected Reader initReader(String fieldName,
                                      Reader reader)

      Override this if you want to add a CharFilter chain.

      The default implementation returns `reader` unchanged.

      Parameters:
        `fieldName` - IndexableField name being indexed
        `reader` - original Reader
      Returns:
        reader, optionally decorated with CharFilter(s)

    - #### initReaderForNormalization

          protected Reader initReaderForNormalization(String fieldName,
                                                      Reader reader)

      Wrap the given `Reader` with `CharFilter`s that make sense for normalization. This is typically a subset of the `CharFilter`s that are applied in `initReader(String, Reader)`. This is used by `normalize(String, String)`.

    - #### attributeFactory

          protected AttributeFactory attributeFactory(String fieldName)

      Return the `AttributeFactory` to be used for `analysis` and `normalization` on the given `FieldName`. The default implementation returns `TokenStream.DEFAULT_TOKEN_ATTRIBUTE_FACTORY`.

    - #### getPositionIncrementGap

          public int getPositionIncrementGap(String fieldName)

      Invoked before indexing a IndexableField instance if terms have already been added to that field. This allows custom analyzers to place an automatic position increment gap between IndexbleField instances using the same field name. The default value position increment gap is 0. With a 0 position increment gap and the typical default token position increment of 1, all terms in a field, including across IndexableField instances, are in successive positions, allowing exact PhraseQuery matches, for instance, across IndexableField instance boundaries.
      Parameters:
        `fieldName` - IndexableField name being indexed.
      Returns:
        position increment gap, added to the next token emitted from `tokenStream(String,Reader)`. This value must be `>= 0`.

    - #### getOffsetGap

          public int getOffsetGap(String fieldName)

      Just like `getPositionIncrementGap(java.lang.String)`, except for Token offsets instead. By default this returns 1. This method is only called if the field produced at least one token for indexing.
      Parameters:
        `fieldName` - the field just indexed
      Returns:
        offset gap, added to the next token emitted from `tokenStream(String,Reader)`. This value must be `>= 0`.

    - #### getReuseStrategy

          public final Analyzer.ReuseStrategy getReuseStrategy()

      Returns the used `Analyzer.ReuseStrategy`.

    - #### setVersion

          public void setVersion(Version v)

      Set the version of Lucene this analyzer should mimic the behavior for for analysis.

    - #### getVersion

          public Version getVersion()

      Return the version of Lucene this analyzer will mimic the behavior of for analysis.

    - #### close

          public void close()

      Frees persistent resources used by this Analyzer
      Specified by:
        `close` in interface `Closeable`
      Specified by:
