Problem with NGramAnalyzer, PhraseQuery and Highlighter

Details

    • New

    Description

      Using the Highlighter with N-GramAnalyzer and PhraseQuery and searching for a substring with length = N yields the following exception:

      java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Less than 2 subSpans.size():1
      at org.apache.lucene.search.spans.ConjunctionSpans.<init>(ConjunctionSpans.java:40)
      at org.apache.lucene.search.spans.NearSpansOrdered.<init>(NearSpansOrdered.java:56)

      at org.apache.lucene.search.highlight.Highlighter.getBestTextFragments(Highlighter.java:196)
      

      Below is a JUnit-Test reproducing this behavior. In case of searching for a string with more than N characters or using NGramPhraseQuery this problem doesn't occur.
      Why is it that more than 1 subSpans are required?

      public class HighlighterTest {
      
         @Rule
         public final ExpectedException exception = ExpectedException.none();
      
         @Test
         public void testHighlighterWithPhraseQueryThrowsException() throws IOException, InvalidTokenOffsetsException {
      
             final Analyzer analyzer = new NGramAnalyzer(4);
             final String fieldName = "substring";
      
             final List<BytesRef> list = new ArrayList<>();
             list.add(new BytesRef("uchu"));
             final PhraseQuery query = new PhraseQuery(fieldName, list.toArray(new BytesRef[list.size()]));
      
             final QueryScorer fragmentScorer = new QueryScorer(query, fieldName);
             final SimpleHTMLFormatter formatter = new SimpleHTMLFormatter("<b>", "</b>");
      
             exception.expect(IllegalArgumentException.class);
             exception.expectMessage("Less than 2 subSpans.size():1");
      
             final Highlighter highlighter = new Highlighter(formatter,TextEncoder.NONE.getEncoder(), fragmentScorer);
             highlighter.setTextFragmenter(new SimpleFragmenter(100));
             final String fragment = highlighter.getBestFragment(analyzer, fieldName, "Buchung");
      
             assertEquals("B<b>uchu</b>ng",fragment);
      
         }
      
      public final class NGramAnalyzer extends Analyzer {
      
         private final int minNGram;
      
         public NGramAnalyzer(final int minNGram) {
             super();
             this.minNGram = minNGram;
         }
      
         @Override
         protected TokenStreamComponents createComponents(final String fieldName) {
             final Tokenizer source = new NGramTokenizer(minNGram, minNGram);
             return new TokenStreamComponents(source);
         }
      
      }
      
      }
