Creates a hit queue sorted by the given list of fields.

NOTE: The instances returned by this method pre-allocate a full array of length numHits.

Parameters:

fields - SortField array we are sorting by in priority order (highest priority first); cannot be null or empty

size - The number of hits to retain. Must be greater than zero.

Throws:

IOException

getComparators

public FieldComparator<?>[] getComparators()

getReverseMul

public int[] getReverseMul()

lessThan

protected abstract boolean lessThan(FieldValueHitQueue.Entry a,
               FieldValueHitQueue.Entry b)

Description copied from class: PriorityQueue

Determines the ordering of objects in this priority queue. Subclasses must define this one method.

Specified by:

lessThan in class PriorityQueue<T extends FieldValueHitQueue.Entry>

Returns:

true iff parameter a is less than parameter b.
