Given all the flap about txid, this surely mustn't go in without public
review first ;-). So, here is a submission from Sergey Karpov to fill
in the lack of any working code examples for user-written tsearch
parsers and dictionaries.
I will be mostly off-line for the next day or so and don't have time to
work on this more now, but here are a few comments:
* It seems a bit odd to put multiple independent contrib modules under a
single subfolder. I'd be inclined to drop the ts_pack layer and just
make the dictionaries and parser be top-level contrib modules.
* Depending on PCRE, when we have an at-least-equally-good regex engine
built in, is silly. It's an unnecessary dependency and to the (minor)
extent that the regex syntax is different, we'd have to document the
discrepancies.
* dict_regex is not nearly up to speed on encoding or locale issues.
I didn't look at the other ones too closely, they may or may not need
similar adjustments.
* Allowing config files to be read from anywhere is not acceptable.
We have dealt with this in the core code and the contrib examples
*must* follow the same rules.
* The whole "utils" part of dict_regex should probably go away; it
is reinventing wheels that already exist in the Postgres backend
environment. Since these are meant to be code examples, they should
show the best ways of doing things within Postgres.
