Lucene roadmap for language analyzers
Hello,

I do not find Lucene roadmap for language implementation. In fact, I am interested on the following languages

- Ukrainian

- Hebrew

- Bahasa.

Seems Lucene does not have those languages today (https://lucene.apache.org/core/5_4_1/analyzers-common/overview-summary.html)

Do you know, if future versions of Lucene will bring those languages?

Many thanks in advance for your help.

Best regards,

Nurul,

Given the community based, meritocratic nature of the Lucene community,
there is no 'roadmap' as such. Features are added when people need them
and can justify developing them.

The features you are requesting, if not present already, will be added
when someone needs them sufficiently to implement them, or to pay
someone to implement them.

RE: Lucene roadmap for language analyzers [ In reply to ]
Hello Upayavira,

Thanks for your email.

In that case, can I know, if Lucene team is already working on "Ukrainian". If I need to pay, do you know how much is the cost and whom should I contact?

Many thanks!

Nurul,

You can search through JIRA [1] for Lucene issues regarding Ukrainian. I
didn't find anything to suggest anyone is working on it.

What do you need Lucene to do that it currently doesn't? You may well be
able to get away with using another language, or a more generic,
non-language specific analysis for such languages.

As to who to pay - there's no specific set of people - anyone who both
understands Lucene's internals, and understands (or can be helped to
understand) the needs of the Ukrainian language should be able to do the
work.

Re: Lucene roadmap for language analyzers [ In reply to ]
Wow, Ukraine language sure is a challenge due to all of the political and
cultural forces over the centuries. See:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ukrainian_language

So, the first question is what is the central focus of an interest in the
Ukraine language - more focused on contemporary media (newspapers,
magazines, government documents), literature, and social media (blog posts,
tweets) in Kiev, or more on historic literature/books and official
documents in the 20th Century? Or... what?

Which dialect(s) are your central focus? e.g., Middle Dnieprian ("the basis
of the Standard Literary Ukrainian")?

Any examples to give for technical issues such as stemming, punctuation,
word boundaries, compound words, stop words? Which modern language is
Ukrainian most similar to... Russian? How similar, how dissimilar?

Oops... just noticed - this discussion should be moved to the user mailing
list, not the "general" list. Sorry for not noticing earlier.
