             Summary: Upgrade Snowball version to 2.0
                 Key: LUCENE-9220
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-9220
             Project: Lucene - Core
          Issue Type: Wish
            Reporter: Nguyen Minh Gia Huy


When working with Snowball-based stemmers, I realized that Lucene is currently 
[using a pre-compiled version of 
Snowball|https://lucene.apache.org/core/8_4_1/analyzers-common/org/apache/lucene/analysis/snowball/package-summary.html],
 that seems from 12 years ago: 
https://github.com/snowballstem/snowball/tree/e103b5c257383ee94a96e7fc58cab3c567bf079b

Snowball has just released v2.0 in 10/2019 with many improvements, new 
supported languages ( Arabic, Indonesian…) and new features ( stringdef 
notation for Unicode codepoints…). Details of the changes could be found here: 
https://github.com/snowballstem/snowball/blob/master/NEWS. I think these 
changes of Snowball could give a promising positive impact on Lucene.

I wonder when Lucene should upgrade Snowball to the latest version ( v2.0).
