Hello, I'm wondering how you'd all feel about the third solution:
3. don't do it. This depends of course how far it is blocking in practice. Maybe I'm missing something, but couldn't a user simply use an additional @AnalyzerDef, so that the analyzer definition is associated to a name, and use that? I guess that I'm missing why you'd want to force people to express that a specific Analyzer is meant to be used only at query time differently than one which is used at indexing time. If there is need to clearly make such discrimination then this should be made very clear to our users too, so I'd prefer if we could avoid introducing new concepts for people to learn.. unless there's strong need of course. Is this issue relating to a specific user request?
