/**
 * 
 *   Configures {@link KeywordTokenizer} with {@link CollationAttributeFactory}.
 * 
 * 
 *   Converts the token into its {@link java.text.CollationKey}, and then
 *   encodes the CollationKey directly to allow 
 *   it to be stored as an index term.
 * 
 * 
 *   WARNING: Make sure you use exactly the same Collator at
 *   index and query time -- CollationKeys are only comparable when produced by
 *   the same Collator.  Since {@link java.text.RuleBasedCollator}s are not
 *   independently versioned, it is unsafe to search against stored
 *   CollationKeys unless the following are exactly the same (best practice is
 *   to store this information with the index and check that they remain the
 *   same at query time):
 * 
 * 
 *   JVM vendor
 *   JVM version, including patch version
 *   
 *     The language (and country and variant, if specified) of the Locale
 *     used when constructing the collator via
 *     {@link Collator#getInstance(java.util.Locale)}.
 *   
 *   
 *     The collation strength used - see {@link Collator#setStrength(int)}
 *   
 *  
 * 
 *   The ICUCollationKeyAnalyzer in the analysis-icu package 
 *   uses ICU4J's Collator, which makes
 *   its version available, thus allowing collation to be versioned
 *   independently from the JVM.  ICUCollationKeyAnalyzer is also significantly
 *   faster and generates significantly shorter keys than CollationKeyAnalyzer.
 *   See http://site.icu-project.org/charts/collation-icu4j-sun for key
 *   generation timing and key length comparisons between ICU4J and
 *   java.text.Collator over several languages.
 * 
 * 
 *   CollationKeys generated by java.text.Collators are not compatible
 *   with those those generated by ICU Collators.  Specifically, if you use 
 *   CollationKeyAnalyzer to generate index terms, do not use
 *   ICUCollationKeyAnalyzer on the query side, or vice versa.
