Subject: [OASIS Issue Tracker] Commented: (CMIS-661) Adopt a subset ofLucene Query Parser Syntax



    [ http://tools.oasis-open.org/issues/browse/CMIS-661?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=20962#action_20962 ] 

Florent Guillaume commented on CMIS-661:
----------------------------------------

Comment from David Choy of August 3 from CMIS-660 copied below:

As far as I can tell, the Lucene Query Parser Syntax differs from CMIS 1.0 fulltext syntax in at least the following ways: 
 • Double-quotes are used for phrase. 
 • Terms that are not separated by a Boolean operator are OR'ed rather than AND'ed. 
 • Negation is not allowed if there is only one term. 
 • Character escaping. (CMIS may have to differ in this aspect no matter what so long as the fulltext expression is embedded in a SQL statement.) 

Arguments FOR adopting a subset of Lucene syntax: 
 • Why invent yet another standard for fulltext query? Is our syntax better? Do we have different requirements? 
 • Compatibility with Lucene would reduce confusion. 
 • The semantics of the fulltext expression was not defined in v1.0 and we need to fill that hole. Adopting both Lucene's syntax and semantics could be a clean fix, and it would simplify the spec also. 
 • The Lucene team probably have investigated fulltext query syntax deeper than we have. 
 • For implementations that use a Lucene engine, syntax conversion for fulltext query would be unnecessary. 
 • ... 

Arguments AGAINST adopting Lucene syntax: 
 • Backward compatibility with v1.0. 
 • CMIS fulltext syntax is so simple that compatibility with Lucene is an over-concern. 
 • Conversion of a CMIS fulltext expression to a Lucene query is trivial. 
 • ...

> This is a spin-off from #660 for further discussion and separate tracking. It is likely a v2.0 item.
> The main differences between this Lucene subset and the CMIS v1.0 fulltext capability are summarized in a 3 August comment under #660.
