Title: ChineseTokenizer Description: Extract tokens from the Stream using Character.getType() Rule: A Chinese character as a single token Copyright: Copyright (c) 2001 Company: The difference between thr ChineseTokenizer and the CJKTokenizer (id=23545) is that they have different token parsing logic. Let me use an example. If having a Chinese text "C1C2C3C4" to be indexed, the tokens returned from the ChineseTokenizer are C1, C2, C3, C4. And the tokens returned from the CJKTokenizer are C1C2, C2C3, C3C4. Therefore the index the CJKTokenizer created is much larger. The problem is that when searching for C1, C1C2, C1C3, C4C2, C1C2C3 ... the ChineseTokenizer works, but the CJKTokenizer will not work.

Method Detail

### next

    public final Token next(Token reusableToken)
                     throws IOException

  Description copied from class: `TokenStream`
  Returns the next token in the stream, or null at EOS. When possible, the input Token should be used as the returned Token (this gives fastest tokenization performance), but this is not required and a new Token may be returned. Callers may re-use a single Token instance for successive calls to this method.

  This implicitly defines a "contract" between consumers (callers of this method) and producers (implementations of this method that are the source for tokens):

  - A consumer must fully consume the previously returned Token before calling this method again.
  - A producer must call `Token.clear()` before setting the fields in it & returning it
  Also, the producer must make no assumptions about a Token after it has been returned: the caller may arbitrarily change it. If the producer needs to hold onto the token for subsequent calls, it must clone() it before storing it. Note that a `TokenFilter` is considered a consumer.

  Overrides:
    `next` in class `TokenStream`
  Parameters:
    `reusableToken` - a Token that may or may not be used to return; this parameter should never be null (the callee is not required to check for null before using it, but it is a good idea to assert that it is not null.)
  Returns:
    next token in the stream or null if end-of-stream was hit
  Throws:
    `IOException`
