: previously I was using a NGramFilterFactory for the completion on my website : but the EdgeNGramTokenizerFactory seems to be more pertinent. : : I defined my own field type but when I start solr I got the error log : : : GRAVE: java.lang.ClassCastException: : org.apache.solr.analysis.EdgeNGramTokenizerFactory cannot be cast to : org.apache.solr.analysis.Toke : nFilterFactory
You can't use a TokenizerFactory as a TokenFilterFacotry --- they do very different things. A Tokenizer is responsible for comverting a stream of characters into a stream of Tokens, while a TokenFilter is responsile for processing an existing stream of Tokens and producing a (odified) stream of Tokens. -Hoss
