Description
Add an extension point for custom query parsers to determine the similarity distance for fuzzy queries. This will be used by the elasticsearch query parser to customise how similarity distances are determined.
Solution
This PR adds the
QueryParserBase::getFuzzyDistance
protected method, which can be overridden by subclasses to provide customisation of how the similarity distance is determined. The default implementation behaves as the current, before-this-change, behaviour.Tests
An additional test scenarios, testFuzzyDistanceExtendability, has been added that exercises the default functionality, as well as how a custom implementation could behave.
