Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method and Description
abstract java.util.Comparator<BytesRef>	getComparator() Return the BytesRef Comparator used to sort terms provided by the iterator.
abstract int	getDocCount() Returns the number of documents that have at least one term for this field, or -1 if this measure isn't stored by the codec.

Field Detail

EMPTY_ARRAY

public static final Terms[] EMPTY_ARRAY

Zero-length array of Terms.

Method Detail

iterator

public abstract TermsEnum iterator(TermsEnum reuse)
                            throws java.io.IOException

Returns an iterator that will step through all terms. This method will not return null. If you have a previous TermsEnum, for example from a different field, you can pass it for possible reuse if the implementation can do so.

Throws:

java.io.IOException

intersect

public TermsEnum intersect(CompiledAutomaton compiled,
                           BytesRef startTerm)
                    throws java.io.IOException

Returns a TermsEnum that iterates over all terms that are accepted by the provided CompiledAutomaton. If the startTerm is provided then the returned enum will only accept terms > startTerm, but you still must call next() first to get to the first term. Note that the provided startTerm must be accepted by the automaton.

NOTE: the returned TermsEnum cannot seek

.

Throws:

java.io.IOException

getComparator

public abstract java.util.Comparator<BytesRef> getComparator()

Return the BytesRef Comparator used to sort terms provided by the iterator. This method may return null if there are no terms. This method may be invoked many times; it's best to cache a single instance & reuse it.

size

public abstract long size()
                   throws java.io.IOException

Returns the number of terms for this field, or -1 if this measure isn't stored by the codec. Note that, just like other term measures, this measure does not take deleted documents into account.

Throws:

java.io.IOException

getSumTotalTermFreq

public abstract long getSumTotalTermFreq()
                                  throws java.io.IOException

Returns the sum of TermsEnum.totalTermFreq() for all terms in this field, or -1 if this measure isn't stored by the codec (or if this fields omits term freq and positions). Note that, just like other term measures, this measure does not take deleted documents into account.

Throws:

java.io.IOException

getSumDocFreq

public abstract long getSumDocFreq()
                            throws java.io.IOException

Returns the sum of TermsEnum.docFreq() for all terms in this field, or -1 if this measure isn't stored by the codec. Note that, just like other term measures, this measure does not take deleted documents into account.

Throws:

java.io.IOException

getDocCount

public abstract int getDocCount()
                         throws java.io.IOException

Returns the number of documents that have at least one term for this field, or -1 if this measure isn't stored by the codec. Note that, just like other term measures, this measure does not take deleted documents into account.

Throws:

java.io.IOException

hasFreqs

public abstract boolean hasFreqs()

Returns true if documents in this field store per-document term frequency (DocsEnum.freq()).

hasOffsets

public abstract boolean hasOffsets()

Returns true if documents in this field store offsets.

hasPositions

public abstract boolean hasPositions()

Returns true if documents in this field store positions.

hasPayloads

public abstract boolean hasPayloads()

Returns true if documents in this field store payloads.
