Method Detail

setBoost

public void setBoost(float boost)

Sets the boost factor hits on this field. This value will be multiplied into the score of all hits on this this field of this document.

The boost is multiplied by Document.getBoost() of the document containing this field. If a document has multiple fields with the same name, all such values are multiplied together. This product is then used to compute the norm factor for the field. By default, in the Similarity.computeNorm(String, FieldInvertState) method, the boost value is multiplied by the Similarity.lengthNorm(String, int) and then rounded by Similarity.encodeNormValue(float) before it is stored in the index. One should attempt to ensure that this product does not overflow the range of that encoding.

Specified by:

setBoost in interface Fieldable

See Also:

Document.setBoost(float), Similarity.computeNorm(String, FieldInvertState), Similarity.encodeNormValue(float)

getBoost

public float getBoost()

Returns the boost factor for hits for this field.

The default value is 1.0.

Note: this value is not stored directly with the document in the index. Documents returned from IndexReader.document(int) and Searcher.doc(int) may thus not have the same value present as when this field was indexed.

Specified by:

getBoost in interface Fieldable

See Also:

setBoost(float)

name

public String name()

Returns the name of the field as an interned string. For example "date", "title", "body", ...

Specified by:

name in interface Fieldable

setStoreTermVector

protected void setStoreTermVector(Field.TermVector termVector)

isStored

public final boolean isStored()

True iff the value of the field is to be stored in the index for return with search hits. It is an error for this to be true if a field is Reader-valued.

Specified by:

isStored in interface Fieldable

isIndexed

public final boolean isIndexed()

True iff the value of the field is to be indexed, so that it may be searched on.

Specified by:

isIndexed in interface Fieldable

isTokenized

public final boolean isTokenized()

True iff the value of the field should be tokenized as text prior to indexing. Un-tokenized fields are indexed as a single word and may not be Reader-valued.

Specified by:

isTokenized in interface Fieldable

isTermVectorStored

public final boolean isTermVectorStored()

True iff the term or terms used to index this field are stored as a term vector, available from IndexReader.getTermFreqVector(int,String). These methods do not provide access to the original content of the field, only to terms used to index it. If the original content must be preserved, use the stored attribute instead.

Specified by:

isTermVectorStored in interface Fieldable

See Also:

IndexReader.getTermFreqVector(int, String)

isStoreOffsetWithTermVector

public boolean isStoreOffsetWithTermVector()

True iff terms are stored as term vector together with their offsets (start and end position in source text).

Specified by:

isStoreOffsetWithTermVector in interface Fieldable

isStorePositionWithTermVector

public boolean isStorePositionWithTermVector()

True iff terms are stored as term vector together with their token positions.

Specified by:

isStorePositionWithTermVector in interface Fieldable

isBinary

public final boolean isBinary()

True iff the value of the filed is stored as binary

Specified by:

isBinary in interface Fieldable

getBinaryValue

public byte[] getBinaryValue()

Return the raw byte[] for the binary field. Note that you must also call getBinaryLength() and getBinaryOffset() to know which range of bytes in this returned array belong to the field.

Specified by:

getBinaryValue in interface Fieldable

Returns:

reference to the Field value as byte[].

getBinaryValue

public byte[] getBinaryValue(byte[] result)

Description copied from interface: Fieldable

Return the raw byte[] for the binary field. Note that you must also call Fieldable.getBinaryLength() and Fieldable.getBinaryOffset() to know which range of bytes in this returned array belong to the field.

About reuse: if you pass in the result byte[] and it is used, likely the underlying implementation will hold onto this byte[] and return it in future calls to Fieldable.getBinaryValue(). So if you subsequently re-use the same byte[] elsewhere it will alter this Fieldable's value.

Specified by:

getBinaryValue in interface Fieldable

Parameters:

result - User defined buffer that will be used if possible. If this is null or not large enough, a new buffer is allocated

Returns:

reference to the Field value as byte[].

getBinaryLength

public int getBinaryLength()

Returns length of byte[] segment that is used as value, if Field is not binary returned value is undefined

Specified by:

getBinaryLength in interface Fieldable

Returns:

length of byte[] segment that represents this Field value

getBinaryOffset

public int getBinaryOffset()

Returns offset into byte[] segment that is used as value, if Field is not binary returned value is undefined

Specified by:

getBinaryOffset in interface Fieldable

Returns:

index of the first character in byte[] segment that represents this Field value

getOmitNorms

public boolean getOmitNorms()

True if norms are omitted for this indexed field

Specified by:

getOmitNorms in interface Fieldable

getOmitTermFreqAndPositions

public boolean getOmitTermFreqAndPositions()

Specified by:

getOmitTermFreqAndPositions in interface Fieldable

See Also:

setOmitTermFreqAndPositions(boolean)

setOmitNorms

public void setOmitNorms(boolean omitNorms)

Expert: If set, omit normalization factors associated with this indexed field. This effectively disables indexing boosts and length normalization for this field.

Specified by:

setOmitNorms in interface Fieldable

setOmitTermFreqAndPositions

public void setOmitTermFreqAndPositions(boolean omitTermFreqAndPositions)

Expert: If set, omit term freq, positions and payloads from postings for this field.

NOTE: While this option reduces storage space required in the index, it also means any query requiring positional information, such as PhraseQuery or SpanQuery subclasses will silently fail to find results.

Specified by:

setOmitTermFreqAndPositions in interface Fieldable

isLazy

public boolean isLazy()

Description copied from interface: Fieldable

Indicates whether a Field is Lazy or not. The semantics of Lazy loading are such that if a Field is lazily loaded, retrieving it's values via Fieldable.stringValue() or Fieldable.getBinaryValue() is only valid as long as the IndexReader that retrieved the Document is still open.

Specified by:

isLazy in interface Fieldable

Returns:

true if this field can be loaded lazily

toString

public final String toString()

Prints a Field for human consumption.

Overrides:

toString in class Object
