FAS 22.2.1 Upgrade Notes

Introduction

FAS 22.2.1 is compatible with the previous release.

Support for Japanese reading form

FAS has a new Token filter that extends support for Japanese.
The Japanese reading form filter transforms kanji and hiragana to katakana, or optionally, to romaji. The default mode transforms the writing systems to katakana. It has one boolean parameter, use-romaji, that is false by default and can be set to true for translations to romaji.

It can be added via the Linguistic analysis page or through business.xml.
Example:

<analyzer id="japanese" display-name="Japanese">
    <-- Other Japanese analyzer components>
    <token-filter-components>
        <-- Other token filter components, such as JapaneseTokenizer >
        <component class="com.fredhopper.search.analysis.advanced.JapaneseReadingFormTokenFilter">
            <setting name="use-romaji">false</setting>
        </component>
    </token-filter-components>
</analyzer>

Migration

Migrating from FAS 22.2.0 to 22.2.1 requires no specific migration steps.
