Class RandomAccessWeight

java.lang.Object

org.apache.lucene.search.Weight

org.apache.lucene.search.ConstantScoreWeight

org.apache.lucene.search.RandomAccessWeight

public abstract class RandomAccessWeight
extends ConstantScoreWeight

Base class to build Weights that are based on random-access structures such as live docs or doc values. Such weights return a Scorer which consists of an approximation that matches everything, and a confirmation phase that first checks live docs and then the Bits returned by getMatchingDocs(LeafReaderContext).

NOTE: This API is for internal purposes only and might change in incompatible ways in the next release.

Method Detail

getMatchingDocs

protected abstract Bits getMatchingDocs(LeafReaderContext context)
                                 throws IOException

Return a Bits instance representing documents that match this weight on the given context. A return value of null indicates that no documents matched. Note: it is not needed to care about live docs as they will be checked before the returned bits.

Throws:

IOException

scorer

public final Scorer scorer(LeafReaderContext context)
                    throws IOException

Description copied from class: Weight

Returns a Scorer which can iterate in order over all matching documents and assign them a score.

NOTE: null can be returned if no documents will be scored by this query.

NOTE: The returned Scorer does not have LeafReader.getLiveDocs() applied, they need to be checked on top.

Specified by:

scorer in class Weight

Parameters:

context - the LeafReaderContext for which to return the Scorer.

Returns:

a Scorer which scores documents in/out-of order.

Throws:

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