Hello, According to the wiki http://wiki.apache.org/solr/LanguageAnalysis, the light stemmers for French (solr.FrenchLightStemFilterFactory and solr.FrenchMinimalStemFilterFactory) are only available for SOLR 3.1.
Is there a way to make them work with 1.4.1? - - - Additionally, there is an "official" list of inflected word forms for the French language produced by a government agency (this being France...) It's called "Morphalou": http://www.cnrtl.fr/lexiques/morphalou/ and it contains over 540 k inflicted forms. It's a 162 Mo XML file; it would not be very hard to transform it into the format for synonyms files for SOLR, but it would result in a rather huge text file (probably smaller than the original XML, but still around 100 Mo). How large can a synonyms file be? Is it dependant on the Java heap size...? Or is there a better way to use such a list than a synonyms file? Thanks, Regards, EB
