Xponents 2.7.8
This Xponents release was focused on code clean up, documentation, stabilizing extractors for basic geoname tagging, keyword tagging and text extraction from binaries.
- Extraction: Initial working basic geotagger for experimentation (PlaceGeocoder, Alpha release). Introducing some early name and word filters into the tagger database (solr gazetteer core) as well as for runtime seemed important for performance and sanity. Such filters were stabilized in this release.
- Extraction: Improved API for interacting with SolrGazetteer - search by feature type, by location, etc.
- Extraction: solidified the solr/gazetteer and solr/taxcat cores for Solr 4.10 configuration
- XText: Tika 1.8 upgrade
- Code: various checkstyle fixes
Xponents 2.8 plans to have hopefully a Solr 5.x upgrade or support, and improved geotagging/geocoding rules in the Extraction "geo" module.
