Die, python2, die.
Some generated .java files change (parameterized automata for
spell-correction).
This is because the order of python dictionaries was not well-defined
previously. A sort() was added so that the python code now generates
reproducible output (Thanks @mikemccand).
So we'll suffer a change once, but the automata are equivalent. If you
run the script again you should not see source code changes.
The relevant unit tests are exhaustive (if you trust the paper!), so we can
be confident it does not break things, even though it looks very scary.
With this change, we sort dvUpdates in the term order before applying if
they all update a single field to the same value. This optimization can
reduce the flush time by around 20% for the docValues update user cases.
On newer linux distros, at least, 'python' now means python3. So
we can't rely on what version of python it will invoke (at least for a
few years).
For example in Fedora Linux:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/Python_means_Python3
For python2.x code, explicitly call 'python2.7' and for python3.x code,
explicitly call 'python3'.
Ant variable names are cleaned up, e.g. 'python.exe' is renamed to
'python2.exe' and 'python32.exe' is renamed to 'python3.exe'. This also
makes it easy to identify remaining python 2.x code that should be
migrated to python 3.x
Previous situation:
* The snowball base classes (Among, SnowballProgram, etc) had accumulated local performance-related changes. There was a task that would also "patch" generated classes (e.g. GermanStemmer) after-the-fact.
* Snowball classes had many "non-changes" from the original such as removal of tabs addition of javadocs, license headers, etc.
* Snowball test data (inputs and expected stems) was incorporated into lucene testing, but this was maintained manually. Also files had become large, making the test too slow (Nightly).
* Snowball stopwords lists from their website were manually maintained. In some cases encoding fixes were manually applied.
* Some generated stemmers (such as Estonian and Armenian) exist in lucene, but have no corresponding `.sbl` file in snowball sources at all.
Besides this mess, snowball project is "moving along" and acquiring new languages, adding non-BSD-licensed test data, huge test data, and other complexity. So it is time to automate the integration better.
New situation:
* Lucene has a `gradle snowball` regeneration task. It works on Linux or Mac only. It checks out their repos, applies the `snowball.patch` in our repository, compiles snowball stemmers, regenerates all java code, applies any adjustments so that our build is happy.
* Tests data is automatically regenerated from the commit hash of the snowball test data repository. Not all languages are tested from their data: only where the license is simple BSD. Test data is also (deterministically) sampled, so that we don't have huge files. We just want to make sure our integration works.
* Randomized tests are still set to test every language with generated fake words. The regeneration task ensures all languages get tested (it writes a simple text file list of them).
* Stopword files are automatically regenerated from the commit hash of the snowball website repository.
* The regeneration procedure is idempotent. This way when stuff does change, you know exactly what happened. For example if test data changes to a different license, you may see a git deletion. Or if a new language/stopwords/test data gets added, you will see git additions.
Previous changes to this issue 'fixed' the way the test was creating mock Replica instances,
to ensure all properties were specified -- but these changes tickled a bug in the existing test
scaffolding that caused it's "expecations" to be based on a regex check against only the base "url"
even though the test logic itself looked at the entire "core url"
The result is that there were reproducible failures if/when the randomly generated regex matched
".*1.*" because the existing test logic did not expect that to match the url or a Replica with
a core name of "core1" because it only considered the base url
