=== Word Delimiter Token Filter

Named `word_delimiter`, it Splits words into subwords and performs
optional transformations on subword groups. Words are split into
subwords with the following rules:

* split on intra-word delimiters (by default, all non alpha-numeric
characters).
* "Wi-Fi" -> "Wi", "Fi"
* split on case transitions: "PowerShot" -> "Power", "Shot"
* split on letter-number transitions: "SD500" -> "SD", "500"
* leading and trailing intra-word delimiters on each subword are
ignored: "//hello---there, 'dude'" -> "hello", "there", "dude"
* trailing "'s" are removed for each subword: "O'Neil's" -> "O", "Neil"

Parameters include:

`generate_word_parts`::
    If `true` causes parts of words to be
    generated: "PowerShot" => "Power" "Shot". Defaults to `true`.

`generate_number_parts`::
    If `true` causes number subwords to be
    generated: "500-42" => "500" "42". Defaults to `true`.

`catenate_words`::
    If `true` causes maximum runs of word parts to be
    catenated: "wi-fi" => "wifi". Defaults to `false`.

`catenate_numbers`::
    If `true` causes maximum runs of number parts to
    be catenated: "500-42" => "50042". Defaults to `false`.

`catenate_all`::
    If `true` causes all subword parts to be catenated:
    "wi-fi-4000" => "wifi4000". Defaults to `false`.

`split_on_case_change`::
    If `true` causes "PowerShot" to be two tokens;
    ("Power-Shot" remains two parts regards). Defaults to `true`.

`preserve_original`::
    If `true` includes original words in subwords:
    "500-42" => "500-42" "500" "42". Defaults to `false`.

`split_on_numerics`::
    If `true` causes "j2se" to be three tokens; "j"
    "2" "se". Defaults to `true`.

`stem_english_possessive`::
    If `true` causes trailing "'s" to be
    removed for each subword: "O'Neil's" => "O", "Neil". Defaults to `true`.

Advance settings include:

`protected_words`::
    A list of protected words from being delimiter.
    Either an array, or also can set `protected_words_path` which resolved
    to a file configured with protected words (one on each line).
    Automatically resolves to `config/` based location if exists.

`type_table`::
    A custom type mapping table, for example (when configured
    using `type_table_path`):

[source,js]
--------------------------------------------------
    # Map the $, %, '.', and ',' characters to DIGIT
    # This might be useful for financial data.
    $ => DIGIT
    % => DIGIT
    . => DIGIT
    \\u002C => DIGIT

    # in some cases you might not want to split on ZWJ
    # this also tests the case where we need a bigger byte[]
    # see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zero-width_joiner
    \\u200D => ALPHANUM
--------------------------------------------------

NOTE: Using a tokenizer like the `standard` tokenizer may interfere with
the `catenate_*` and `preserve_original` parameters, as the original
string may already have lost punctuation during tokenization.  Instead,
you may want to use the `whitespace` tokenizer.
