## Class ICUCollationAttributeFactory

- java.lang.Object
- - org.apache.lucene.util.AttributeFactory
  - - org.apache.lucene.util.AttributeFactory.StaticImplementationAttributeFactory<ICUCollatedTermAttributeImpl>
    - - org.apache.lucene.collation.ICUCollationAttributeFactory

-     public class ICUCollationAttributeFactory
      extends AttributeFactory.StaticImplementationAttributeFactory<ICUCollatedTermAttributeImpl>

  Converts each token into its `CollationKey`, and then encodes bytes 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. `RuleBasedCollator`s are independently versioned, so it is safe to search against stored CollationKeys if 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. Collator version - see `Collator.getVersion()`
  2. The collation strength used - see `Collator.setStrength(int)`

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

  ICUCollationAttributeFactory is significantly faster and generates significantly shorter keys than CollationAttributeFactory. 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.
