public class Field extends Object implements IndexableField
Expert: directly create a field for a document. Most users should use one of the sugar subclasses:

A field is a section of a Document. Each field has three parts: name, type and value. Values may be text (String, Reader or pre-analyzed TokenStream), binary (byte[]), or numeric (a Number). Fields are optionally stored in the index, so that they may be returned with hits on the document.

NOTE: the field type is an IndexableFieldType. Making changes to the state of the IndexableFieldType will impact any Field it is used in. It is strongly recommended that no changes be made after Field instantiation.

  • Method Details

    • stringValue

      public String stringValue()
      The value of the field as a String, or null. If null, the Reader value or binary value is used. Exactly one of stringValue(), readerValue(), and binaryValue() must be set.
      Specified by:
      stringValue in interface IndexableField

    • getCharSequenceValue

      public CharSequence getCharSequenceValue()
      Description copied from interface: IndexableField
      Non-null if this field has a string value
      Specified by:
      getCharSequenceValue in interface IndexableField

    • readerValue

      public Reader readerValue()
      The value of the field as a Reader, or null. If null, the String value or binary value is used. Exactly one of stringValue(), readerValue(), and binaryValue() must be set.
      Specified by:
      readerValue in interface IndexableField

    • tokenStreamValue

      public TokenStream tokenStreamValue()

    • setStringValue

      public void setStringValue(String value)
      Expert: change the value of this field. This can be used during indexing to re-use a single Field instance to improve indexing speed by avoiding GC cost of new'ing and reclaiming Field instances. Typically a single Document instance is re-used as well. This helps most on small documents.

      Each Field instance should only be used once within a single Document instance. See ImproveIndexingSpeed for details.

    • fieldType

      public IndexableFieldType fieldType()
      Returns the FieldType for this field.
      Specified by:
      fieldType in interface IndexableField

    • invertableType

      public InvertableType invertableType()
      Description copied from interface: IndexableField
      Describes how this field should be inverted. This must return a non-null value if the field indexes terms and postings.

    • tokenStream

      public TokenStream tokenStream(Analyzer analyzer, TokenStream reuse)
      Description copied from interface: IndexableField

      tokenStream in interface IndexableField
      Parameters:
      analyzer - Analyzer that should be used to create the TokenStreams from
      reuse - TokenStream for a previous instance of this field name. This allows custom field types (like StringField and NumericField) that do not use the analyzer to still have good performance. Note: the passed-in type may be inappropriate, for example if you mix up different types of Fields for the same field name. So it's the responsibility of the implementation to check.
      Returns:
      TokenStream value for indexing the document. Should always return a non-null value if the field is to be indexed

    • storedValue

      public StoredValue storedValue()
