Ingomar Wesp commented on LUCENE-7960:
--------------------------------------
I understand your concern. As far as I can tell, there are two options:
1) Replace the booleans with an enum that covers the four possible
combinations. Maybe "keepMode" with values "DROP", "KEEP_SHORT_TERM",
"KEEP_LONG_TERM", "KEEP_ALL". I'm not really happy with the names, though -
advice welcome.
2) Fold the two booleans into one - maybe "preserveOriginal", akin to how the
corresponding attribute in other filters is called.
I personally prefer 1), but I'd happily adapt the patch to implement the other
if it makes things easier from your perspective.

> When ngram or edgengram filters are used, any terms that are shorter than the
> minGramSize are completely removed from the token stream.
> This is probably 100% what was intended, but I've seen it cause a lot of
> problems for users. I am not suggesting that the default behavior be
> changed. That would be far too disruptive to the existing user base.
> I do think there should be a new boolean option, with a name like
> keepShortTerms, that defaults to false, to allow the short terms to be
> preserved.
