Interface PositionLengthAttribute

All Superinterfaces:
Attribute
All Known Implementing Classes:
PositionLengthAttributeImpl, Token
public interface PositionLengthAttribute extends Attribute
Determines how many positions this token spans. Very few analyzer components actually produce this attribute, and indexing ignores it, but it's useful to express the graph structure naturally produced by decompounding, word splitting/joining, synonym filtering, etc.

NOTE: this is optional, and most analyzers don't change the default value (1).
