Analyzer

public abstract class Analyzer extends Object
An Analyzer builds TokenStreams, which analyze text. It thus represents a policy for extracting index terms from text.

Typical implementations first build a Tokenizer, which breaks the stream of characters from the Reader into raw Tokens. One or more TokenFilters may then be applied to the output of the Tokenizer.

WARNING: You must override one of the methods defined by this class in your subclass or the Analyzer will enter an infinite loop.

public org.apache.lucene.analysis.TokenStreamtokenStream(java.lang.String fieldName, java.io.Reader reader)
Creates a TokenStream which tokenizes all the text in the provided Reader. Default implementation forwards to tokenStream(Reader) for compatibility with older version. Override to allow Analyzer to choose strategy based on document and/or field. Must be able to handle null field name for backward compatibility.

	  // implemented for backward compatibility
	  return tokenStream(reader);
