Try to make Ant {{nori}} module depend on {{icu}} module to try to reuse some
{{ICUTokenizer}} logic parts (but I failed to tweak Ant scripts)
{quote}
Lets avoid this: this logic in the ICUTokenizer should stay private. Otherwise
its api (javadocs, etc) will be confusing, it should not expose any of its guts
stuff as protected or public.
The high level is, if you want to break on script boundaries, unicode specifies
a way to do it. you don't have to reinvent the wheel. You can get the property
data from text files https://www.unicode.org/Public/11.0.0/ucd/Scripts.txt, or
you can depend on icu jar for access to the properties. The link to
ICUTokenizer just gives an example of how you might do it, but it should not be
exposed to this nori.

> This was first reported in https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-8526:
> {noformat}
> Tokens are split on different character POS types (which seem to not quite
> line up with Unicode character blocks), which leads to weird results for
> non-CJK tokens:
> εἰμί is tokenized as three tokens: ε/SL(Foreign language) + ἰ/SY(Other
> symbol) + μί/SL(Foreign language)
> ka̠k̚t͡ɕ͈a̠k̚ is tokenized as ka/SL(Foreign language) + ̠/SY(Other symbol) +
> k/SL(Foreign language) + ̚/SY(Other symbol) + t/SL(Foreign language) +
> ͡ɕ͈/SY(Other symbol) + a/SL(Foreign language) + ̠/SY(Other symbol) +
> k/SL(Foreign language) + ̚/SY(Other symbol)
> Ба̀лтичко̄ is tokenized as ба/SL(Foreign language) + ̀/SY(Other symbol) +
> лтичко/SL(Foreign language) + ̄/SY(Other symbol)
> don't is tokenized as don + t; same for don't (with a curly apostrophe).
> אוֹג׳וּ is tokenized as אוֹג/SY(Other symbol) + וּ/SY(Other symbol)
> Мoscow (with a Cyrillic М and the rest in Latin) is tokenized as м + oscow
> While it is still possible to find these words using Nori, there are many
> more chances for false positives when the tokens are split up like this. In
> particular, individual numbers and combining diacritics are indexed
> separately (e.g., in the Cyrillic example above), which can lead to a
> performance hit on large corpora like Wiktionary or Wikipedia.
> Work around: use a character filter to get rid of combining diacritics before
> Nori processes the text. This doesn't solve the Greek, Hebrew, or English
> cases, though.
> Suggested fix: Characters in related Unicode blocks—like "Greek" and "Greek
> Extended", or "Latin" and "IPA Extensions"—should not trigger token splits.
> Combining diacritics should not trigger token splits. Non-CJK text should be
> tokenized on spaces and punctuation, not by character type shifts.
> Apostrophe-like characters should not trigger token splits (though I could
> see someone disagreeing on this one).{noformat}
