java.lang.Object
  org.apache.lucene.search.suggest.Lookup
      org.apache.lucene.search.suggest.fst.WFSTCompletionLookup

public class WFSTCompletionLookup
extends Lookup

Suggester based on a weighted FST: it first traverses the prefix, then walks the n shortest paths to retrieve top-ranked suggestions.

NOTE: Input weights must be between 0 and Integer.MAX_VALUE, any other values will be rejected.

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

Constructor Detail

WFSTCompletionLookup

public WFSTCompletionLookup()

Calls WFSTCompletionLookup(true)

WFSTCompletionLookup

public WFSTCompletionLookup(boolean exactFirst)

Creates a new suggester.

Parameters:

exactFirst - true if suggestions that match the prefix exactly should always be returned first, regardless of score. This has no performance impact, but could result in low-quality suggestions.

Method Detail

build

public void build(InputIterator iterator)
           throws IOException

Description copied from class: Lookup

Builds up a new internal Lookup representation based on the given InputIterator. The implementation might re-sort the data internally.

Specified by:

build in class Lookup

Throws:

IOException

store

public boolean store(DataOutput output)
              throws IOException

Description copied from class: Lookup

Persist the constructed lookup data to a directory. Optional operation.

Specified by:

store in class Lookup

Parameters:

output - DataOutput to write the data to.

Returns:

true if successful, false if unsuccessful or not supported.

Throws:

IOException - when fatal IO error occurs.

load

public boolean load(DataInput input)
             throws IOException

Description copied from class: Lookup

Discard current lookup data and load it from a previously saved copy. Optional operation.

Specified by:

load in class Lookup

Parameters:

input - the DataInput to load the lookup data.

Returns:

true if completed successfully, false if unsuccessful or not supported.

Throws:

IOException - when fatal IO error occurs.

lookup

public List<Lookup.LookupResult> lookup(CharSequence key,
                                        boolean onlyMorePopular,
                                        int num)

Description copied from class: Lookup

Look up a key and return possible completion for this key.

Specified by:

lookup in class Lookup

Parameters:

key - lookup key. Depending on the implementation this may be a prefix, misspelling, or even infix.

onlyMorePopular - return only more popular results

num - maximum number of results to return

Returns:

a list of possible completions, with their relative weight (e.g. popularity)

get

public Object get(CharSequence key)

Returns the weight associated with an input string, or null if it does not exist.

sizeInBytes

public long sizeInBytes()

Returns byte size of the underlying FST.

Specified by:

sizeInBytes in class Lookup

Returns:

ram size of the lookup implementation in bytes

getCount

public long getCount()

Description copied from class: Lookup

Get the number of entries the lookup was built with

Specified by:

getCount in class Lookup

Returns:

total number of suggester entries
