Interface FlagsAttribute

All Superinterfaces:

Attribute

All Known Implementing Classes:

FlagsAttributeImpl, Token

public interface FlagsAttribute
extends Attribute

This attribute can be used to pass different flags down the Tokenizer chain, e.g. from one TokenFilter to another one.

This is completely distinct from TypeAttribute, although they do share similar purposes. The flags can be used to encode information about the token for use by other TokenFilters.

WARNING: This API is experimental and might change in incompatible ways in the next release.

While we think this is here to stay, we may want to change it to be a long.
