Nguyen Minh Gia Huy commented on LUCENE-9588:
---------------------------------------------
Sorry, I didn't explain the example with JapaneseTokenizer very well.
Let's say I want a Tokenizer that breaks the text into sentences and send each
sentence to another tokenizer, for example JapaneseTokenizer, for segmentation
( so that the JapaneseTokenizer doesn't analyze the whole paragraph but instead
each sentence) .To do so, I would have to make that tokenizer implement the
SegmentingTokenizerBase and invoke the JapaneseTokenizer in the *incrementWord*
method. JapaneseTokenizer implements the Tokenizer so it throws I/O exception
during analysis.
For this specific use case, the *incrementToken* of JapaneseTokenizer ( and any
other class implements Tokenizer) combines i/o and segmentation and there seems
no way to separate them.
I agree with the idea that SegmentingTokenizerBase handles the I/O itself and
that the subclass just deals with only word segmentation. However, the word
segmentation probably shouldn't be limited to only non-i/o logic. The existing
subclasses of SegmentingTokenizerBase don't have such issue because they don't
do word segmentation in Tokenizer style, for example
[WordSegmenter|https://github.com/apache/lucene-solr/blob/master/lucene/analysis/smartcn/src/java/org/apache/lucene/analysis/cn/smart/HMMChineseTokenizer.java#L46]
in HMMChineseTokenizer. I think allowing I/O exception in *setNextSentence*
and *incrementWord* ** will make users have more flexibility with the word
segmentation and thus improve the usability of this class.

> Key: LUCENE-9588
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-9588
> Project: Lucene - Core
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: modules/analysis
> Affects Versions: 8.6.3
> Reporter: Nguyen Minh Gia Huy
> Priority: Minor
>
> The current interface of *setNextSentence* and *incrementWord* methods in
> *SegmentingTokenizerBase* do not define the checked exceptions, which makes
> it troublesome to be inherited.
> For example, if we override the incrementWord with a logic that invoke
> incrementToken on another tokenizer, the incrementToken raises the
> IOException but the incrementWord is not defined to handle it.
> I think having setNextSentence and incrementWord handle the IOException would
> make the SegmentingTokenizerBase easier to be used.
