Hi,

I'm new to Hibernate Search. I have a multilanguage application and I've defined multiple Analyzers according to each specific language. I also defined a custom Discriminator to determine the analyzer that must be used for each field and language. The corresponding FieldBridges are also defined.

The problem I am facing with, is that I can not declare more than one @AnalyzerDiscriminator in the same class (a "org.hibernate.search.SearchException: Multiple AnalyzerDiscriminator defined in the same class hierarchy..." exception is raised).

Is there any way to do this? I don't want to declare a class level @AnalyzerDiscriminator, because I need to use diferent analyzers for other fields that are not language dependent.

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

You can only have one discriminator. The best is probably to use the class level discriminator. When the discriminator is invoked you also get passed the field name and can act accordingly. Of course the coupling of the code becomes much tighter and changes in the entity might need changes in the discriminator as well.

Hi Hardy,

Thank you very much for your answer. I had read about this possible solution, but hoped there was another way with less impact on future developments. I'll try this variant, perhaps externalizing the fields to discriminate by configuration, in a way to avoid modifications to the Discriminator in future interactions.
