Method Detail

compare

public int compare(int slot1,
                   int slot2)
Description copied from class: FieldComparator
Compare hit at slot1 with hit at slot2.

Specified by:
compare in class FieldComparator<String>
Parameters:
slot1 - first slot to compare
slot2 - second slot to compare
Returns:
any N < 0 if slot2's value is sorted after slot1, any N > 0 if the slot2's value is sorted before slot1 and 0 if they are equal

compareBottom

public int compareBottom(int doc)
Description copied from class: FieldComparator
Compare the bottom of the queue with doc. This will only invoked after setBottom has been called. This should return the same result as FieldComparator.compare(int,int)} as if bottom were slot1 and the new document were slot 2.

For a search that hits many results, this method will be the hotspot (invoked by far the most frequently).

Specified by:
compareBottom in class FieldComparator<String>
Parameters:
doc - that was hit
Returns:
any N < 0 if the doc's value is sorted after the bottom entry (not competitive), any N > 0 if the doc's value is sorted before the bottom entry and 0 if they are equal.

copy

public void copy(int slot,
                 int doc)
Description copied from class: FieldComparator
This method is called when a new hit is competitive. You should copy any state associated with this document that will be required for future comparisons, into the specified slot.

Specified by:
copy in class FieldComparator<String>
Parameters:
slot - which slot to copy the hit to
doc - docID relative to current reader

setNextReader

public void setNextReader(IndexReader reader,
                          int docBase)
                   throws IOException
Description copied from class: FieldComparator
Set a new Reader. All doc correspond to the current Reader.

Specified by:
setNextReader in class FieldComparator<String>
Parameters:
reader - current reader
docBase - docBase of this reader
Throws:
IOException

setBottom

public void setBottom(int bottom)
Description copied from class: FieldComparator
Set the bottom slot, ie the "weakest" (sorted last) entry in the queue. When FieldComparator.compareBottom(int) is called, you should compare against this slot. This will always be called before FieldComparator.compareBottom(int).

Specified by:
setBottom in class FieldComparator<String>
Parameters:
bottom - the currently weakest (sorted last) slot in the queue

value

public String value(int slot)
Description copied from class: FieldComparator
Return the actual value in the slot.

Specified by:
value in class FieldComparator<String>
Parameters:
slot - the value
Returns:
value in this slot

compareValues

public int compareValues(String val1,
                         String val2)
Description copied from class: FieldComparator
Returns -1 if first is less than second. Default impl to assume the type implements Comparable and invoke .compareTo; be sure to override this method if your FieldComparator's type isn't a Comparable or if your values may sometimes be null

Overrides:
compareValues in class FieldComparator<String>
