Class MultiPassIndexSplitter

java.lang.Object

org.apache.lucene.index.MultiPassIndexSplitter

public class MultiPassIndexSplitter
extends Object

This tool splits input index into multiple equal parts. The method employed here uses IndexWriter.addIndexes(CodecReader[]) where the input data comes from the input index with artificially applied deletes to the document id-s that fall outside the selected partition.

Note 1: Deletes are only applied to a buffered list of deleted docs and don't affect the source index - this tool works also with read-only indexes.

Note 2: the disadvantage of this tool is that source index needs to be read as many times as there are parts to be created, hence the name of this tool.

NOTE: this tool is unaware of documents added atomically via IndexWriter.addDocuments(java.lang.Iterable<? extends java.lang.Iterable<? extends org.apache.lucene.index.IndexableField>>) or IndexWriter.updateDocuments(org.apache.lucene.index.Term, java.lang.Iterable<? extends java.lang.Iterable<? extends org.apache.lucene.index.IndexableField>>), which means it can easily break up such document groups.

Method Detail

split

public void split(IndexReader in,
         Directory[] outputs,
         boolean seq)
           throws IOException

Split source index into multiple parts.

Parameters:

in - source index, can have deletions, can have multiple segments (or multiple readers).

outputs - list of directories where the output parts will be stored.

seq - if true, then the source index will be split into equal increasing ranges of document id-s. If false, source document id-s will be assigned in a deterministic round-robin fashion to one of the output splits.

Throws:

IOException - If there is a low-level I/O error
