Class TermsEnum

java.lang.Object

org.apache.lucene.index.TermsEnum

All Implemented Interfaces:

BytesRefIterator

Direct Known Subclasses:

FilteredTermsEnum, FilterLeafReader.FilterTermsEnum, FuzzyTermsEnum, MultiTermsEnum

public abstract class TermsEnum
extends Object
implements BytesRefIterator

Iterator to seek (seekCeil(BytesRef), seekExact(BytesRef)) or step through (BytesRefIterator.next() terms to obtain frequency information (docFreq()), PostingsEnum or PostingsEnum for the current term (postings(org.apache.lucene.index.PostingsEnum).

Term enumerations are always ordered by BytesRef.compareTo, which is Unicode sort order if the terms are UTF-8 bytes. Each term in the enumeration is greater than the one before it.

The TermsEnum is unpositioned when you first obtain it and you must first successfully call BytesRefIterator.next() or one of the seek methods.

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

Field Detail

EMPTY

public static final TermsEnum EMPTY

An empty TermsEnum for quickly returning an empty instance e.g. in MultiTermQuery

Please note: This enum should be unmodifiable, but it is currently possible to add Attributes to it. This should not be a problem, as the enum is always empty and the existence of unused Attributes does not matter.

Constructor Detail

TermsEnum

protected TermsEnum()

Sole constructor. (For invocation by subclass constructors, typically implicit.)

Method Detail

attributes

public AttributeSource attributes()

Returns the related attributes.

seekExact

public boolean seekExact(BytesRef text)
                  throws IOException

Attempts to seek to the exact term, returning true if the term is found. If this returns false, the enum is unpositioned. For some codecs, seekExact may be substantially faster than seekCeil(org.apache.lucene.util.BytesRef).

Throws:

IOException

seekCeil

public abstract TermsEnum.SeekStatus seekCeil(BytesRef text)
                                       throws IOException

Seeks to the specified term, if it exists, or to the next (ceiling) term. Returns SeekStatus to indicate whether exact term was found, a different term was found, or EOF was hit. The target term may be before or after the current term. If this returns SeekStatus.END, the enum is unpositioned.

Throws:

IOException

seekExact

public abstract void seekExact(long ord)
                        throws IOException

Seeks to the specified term by ordinal (position) as previously returned by ord(). The target ord may be before or after the current ord, and must be within bounds.

Throws:

IOException

seekExact

public void seekExact(BytesRef term,
             TermState state)
               throws IOException

Expert: Seeks a specific position by TermState previously obtained from termState(). Callers should maintain the TermState to use this method. Low-level implementations may position the TermsEnum without re-seeking the term dictionary.

Seeking by TermState should only be used iff the state was obtained from the same TermsEnum instance.

NOTE: Using this method with an incompatible TermState might leave this TermsEnum in undefined state. On a segment level TermState instances are compatible only iff the source and the target TermsEnum operate on the same field. If operating on segment level, TermState instances must not be used across segments.

NOTE: A seek by TermState might not restore the AttributeSource's state. AttributeSource states must be maintained separately if this method is used.

Parameters:

term - the term the TermState corresponds to

state - the TermState

Throws:

IOException

term

public abstract BytesRef term()
                       throws IOException

Returns current term. Do not call this when the enum is unpositioned.

Throws:

IOException

ord

public abstract long ord()
                  throws IOException

Returns ordinal position for current term. This is an optional method (the codec may throw UnsupportedOperationException). Do not call this when the enum is unpositioned.

Throws:

IOException

docFreq

public abstract int docFreq()
                     throws IOException

Returns the number of documents containing the current term. Do not call this when the enum is unpositioned. TermsEnum.SeekStatus.END.

Throws:

IOException

totalTermFreq

public abstract long totalTermFreq()
                            throws IOException

Returns the total number of occurrences of this term across all documents (the sum of the freq() for each doc that has this term). This will be -1 if the codec doesn't support this measure. Note that, like other term measures, this measure does not take deleted documents into account.

Throws:

IOException

postings

public final PostingsEnum postings(PostingsEnum reuse)
                            throws IOException

Get PostingsEnum for the current term. Do not call this when the enum is unpositioned. This method will not return null.

NOTE: the returned iterator may return deleted documents, so deleted documents have to be checked on top of the PostingsEnum.

Use this method if you only require documents and frequencies, and do not need any proximity data. This method is equivalent to postings(reuse, PostingsEnum.FREQS)

Parameters:

reuse - pass a prior PostingsEnum for possible reuse

Throws:

IOException

See Also:

postings(PostingsEnum, int)

postings

public abstract PostingsEnum postings(PostingsEnum reuse,
                    int flags)
                               throws IOException

Get PostingsEnum for the current term, with control over whether freqs, positions, offsets or payloads are required. Do not call this when the enum is unpositioned. This method may return null if the postings information required is not available from the index

NOTE: the returned iterator may return deleted documents, so deleted documents have to be checked on top of the PostingsEnum.

Parameters:

reuse - pass a prior PostingsEnum for possible reuse

flags - specifies which optional per-document values you require; see PostingsEnum.FREQS

Throws:

IOException

termState

public TermState termState()
                    throws IOException

Expert: Returns the TermsEnums internal state to position the TermsEnum without re-seeking the term dictionary.

NOTE: A seek by TermState might not capture the AttributeSource's state. Callers must maintain the AttributeSource states separately

Throws:

IOException

TermState, seekExact(BytesRef, TermState)

public final DocsEnum docs(Bits liveDocs,
                       DocsEnum reuse)
                    throws IOException

Deprecated. Use postings(PostingsEnum) instead

                    throws IOException

Deprecated. Use postings(PostingsEnum, int) instead

Deprecated. Use postings(PostingsEnum, int) instead

Get DocsAndPositionsEnum for the current term. Do not call this when the enum is unpositioned. This method will return null if positions were not indexed.

Parameters:

liveDocs - unset bits are documents that should not be returned

reuse - pass a prior DocsAndPositionsEnum for possible reuse

Throws:

IOException

docsAndPositions

@Deprecated

                                            throws IOException

Deprecated. Use postings(PostingsEnum, int) instead

Get DocsAndPositionsEnum for the current term, with control over whether offsets and payloads are required. Some codecs may be able to optimize their implementation when offsets and/or payloads are not required. Do not call this when the enum is unpositioned. This will return null if positions were not indexed.

Parameters:

liveDocs - unset bits are documents that should not be returned

reuse - pass a prior DocsAndPositionsEnum for possible reuse

flags - specifies which optional per-position values you require; see DocsAndPositionsEnum.FLAG_OFFSETS and DocsAndPositionsEnum.FLAG_PAYLOADS.
