Class FacetIndexingParams

java.lang.Object
  org.apache.lucene.facet.params.FacetIndexingParams

Direct Known Subclasses:

PerDimensionIndexingParams

public class FacetIndexingParams
extends Object

Defines parameters that are needed for facets indexing. Note that this class does not have any setters. That's because overriding the default parameters is considered expert. If you wish to override them, simply extend this class and override the relevant getter.

NOTE: This class is also used during faceted search in order to e.g. know which field holds the drill-down terms or the fulltree posting. Therefore this class should be initialized once and you should refrain from changing it. Also note that if you make any changes to it (e.g. suddenly deciding that drill-down terms should be read from a different field) and use it on an existing index, things may not work as expected.

WARNING: This API is experimental and might change in incompatible ways in the next release.

Field Summary

protected CategoryListParams	clParams
static FacetIndexingParams	DEFAULT A FacetIndexingParams which fixes a single CategoryListParams with CategoryListParams.DEFAULT_ORDINAL_POLICY.
protected static CategoryListParams	DEFAULT_CATEGORY_LIST_PARAMS
static char	DEFAULT_FACET_DELIM_CHAR The default delimiter with which CategoryPath.components are concatenated when written to the index, e.g.

Constructor Summary

FacetIndexingParams()
Initializes new default params.

FacetIndexingParams(CategoryListParams categoryListParams)
Initializes new params with the given CategoryListParams.

Method Summary

int	drillDownTermText(CategoryPath path, char[] buffer) Copies the text required to execute a drill-down query on the given category to the given char[], and returns the number of characters that were written.
boolean	equals(Object obj)
List<CategoryListParams>	getAllCategoryListParams() Returns a list of all categoryListParams that are used for facets indexing.
CategoryListParams	getCategoryListParams(CategoryPath category) Returns the CategoryListParams for this CategoryPath.
char	getFacetDelimChar() Returns the delimiter character used internally for concatenating category path components, e.g.
int	getPartitionSize() Returns the size of a partition.
int	hashCode()

Field Detail

DEFAULT_CATEGORY_LIST_PARAMS

protected static final CategoryListParams DEFAULT_CATEGORY_LIST_PARAMS

DEFAULT

public static final FacetIndexingParams DEFAULT

A FacetIndexingParams which fixes a single CategoryListParams with CategoryListParams.DEFAULT_ORDINAL_POLICY.

DEFAULT_FACET_DELIM_CHAR

public static final char DEFAULT_FACET_DELIM_CHAR

The default delimiter with which CategoryPath.components are concatenated when written to the index, e.g. as drill-down terms. If you choose to override it by overiding getFacetDelimChar(), you should make sure that you return a character that's not found in any path component.

clParams

protected final CategoryListParams clParams

Constructor Detail

FacetIndexingParams

public FacetIndexingParams()

Initializes new default params. You should use this constructor only if you intend to override any of the getters, otherwise you can use DEFAULT to save unnecessary object allocations.

FacetIndexingParams

public FacetIndexingParams(CategoryListParams categoryListParams)

Initializes new params with the given CategoryListParams.

Method Detail

getCategoryListParams

public CategoryListParams getCategoryListParams(CategoryPath category)

Returns the CategoryListParams for this CategoryPath. The default implementation returns the same CategoryListParams for all categories (even if category is null).

drillDownTermText

public int drillDownTermText(CategoryPath path,
                             char[] buffer)

Copies the text required to execute a drill-down query on the given category to the given char[], and returns the number of characters that were written.

NOTE: You should make sure that the char[] is large enough, by e.g. calling CategoryPath.fullPathLength().

getPartitionSize

public int getPartitionSize()

Returns the size of a partition. Partitions allow you to divide (hence, partition) the categories space into small sets to e.g. improve RAM consumption during faceted search. For instance, partitionSize=100K would mean that if your taxonomy index contains 420K categories, they will be divided into 5 groups and at search time a FacetArrays will be allocated at the size of the partition.

This is real advanced setting and should be changed with care. By default, all categories are put in one partition. You should modify this setting if you have really large taxonomies (e.g. 1M+ nodes).

getAllCategoryListParams

public List<CategoryListParams> getAllCategoryListParams()

Returns a list of all categoryListParams that are used for facets indexing.

hashCode

public int hashCode()

Overrides:

hashCode in class Object

equals

public boolean equals(Object obj)

Overrides:

equals in class Object

getFacetDelimChar

public char getFacetDelimChar()

Returns the delimiter character used internally for concatenating category path components, e.g. for drill-down terms.
