Description

LUCENE-2372 and LUCENE-2389 marked all analyzers as final. This makes ReusableAnalyzerBase useless, and makes it impossible to subclass e.g. StandardAnalyzer to make a small modification e.g. to tokenStream(). These issues don't indicate a new method of doing this. The issues don't give a reason except for design considerations, which seems a poor reason to make a backward-incompatible change
