David Smiley commented on LUCENE-6874:
--------------------------------------
Just for clarification, Adrien, are you suggesting that
WhitespaceTokenizerFactory stays, but WhitespaceTokenizer get removed (because
it's easy to define one)? I'm +1 to that.
> WhitespaceTokenizer should tokenize on NBSP

> WhitespaceTokenizer uses [Character.isWhitespace
> |http://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/api/java/lang/Character.html#isWhitespace-int-]
> to decide what is whitespace. Here's a pertinent excerpt:
> bq. It is a Unicode space character (SPACE_SEPARATOR, LINE_SEPARATOR, or
> PARAGRAPH_SEPARATOR) but is not also a non-breaking space ('\u00A0',
> '\u2007', '\u202F')
> Perhaps Character.isWhitespace should have been called
> isLineBreakableWhitespace?
> I think WhitespaceTokenizer should tokenize on this. I am aware it's easy to
> work around but why leave this trap in by default?
