[hibernate-issues] [Hibernate-JIRA] Commented: (HSEARCH-960) Index.UN_TOKENIZED overrides other tokenized fields that share the same name

[ http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/browse/HSEARCH-960?pag... ] John-Michael Au commented on HSEARCH-960: ----------------------------------------- Hi Sanne, In our case, having an ID (I apologize for the ambiguity- these are not the actual object identifiers as in the database table primary keys) such as '1234.56.abcd' which we would like to be added verbatim to the index, and text such as '1234 Years Ago' which should be tokenized. In this case of course, 1234 should match the document with '1234 Years Ago', but not '1234.56.abcd'. I understand that the standard tokenizer will not break up '1234.56.abcd' anyway, but it does seem that such behaviour should be explicitly defined rather than implied by the functionality of other components. I suppose that if you look at it from the point of view that multiple fields with the same name should essentially behave as one field, being able to specify different indexing options for each field doesn't make much sense. On the other hand, if you see the field as the end-product of concatenation of other individual fields, it would make sense if each field could be indexed as required. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
