I did intend to ignore all the spaces, so that's not the problem.
Here's the tokenization chain in customAnalyser class, extending Analyser
@Override
protected TokenStreamComponents createComponents(String fieldName,
Reader reader) {
NGramTokenizer src = new NGramTokenizer(matchVersion, reader); //
My NGramTokenizer
TokenStream tok = new LowerCaseFilter(matchVersion, src);
return new TokenStreamComponents(src, tok);
}
NGramTokenizer's incrementToken() method.
@Override
public boolean incrementToken() throws IOException
{
clearAttributes();
char[] termBuffer = termAtt.buffer();
termAtt.setLength(GRAM_SIZE);
startOffset++; // Values for offset
attribute
offsetAtt.setOffset(startOffset, startOffset+ GRAM_SIZE-1);
do
{
termBuffer[0] = termBuffer[1]; // Shift characters
to left
termBuffer[1] = termBuffer[2];
// Get next non-whitespace character
int c = ' ';
while(Character.isWhitespace(c))
{
if(position >= dataLength) // Read in buffer, if position
gets out of bound
{
if(charUtils.fill(iobuffer, input))
{
dataLength = iobuffer.getLength();
position = 0;
}
else // EOF
return false;
}
c = charUtils.codePointAt(iobuffer.getBuffer(),
position); // Get next character
position++;
}
Character.toChars(c, termBuffer, GRAM_SIZE-1);
//
System.out.print("'"+termBuffer[0]+termBuffer[1]+termBuffer[2]+"', ");
// This is how I got the output in the last email
}
while(Character.getNumericValue(termBuffer[0]) == -1);
return true;
}
