Class StoredFieldVisitor

java.lang.Object

org.apache.lucene.index.StoredFieldVisitor

Direct Known Subclasses:

DocumentStoredFieldVisitor, StoredFieldsWriter.MergeVisitor

public abstract class StoredFieldVisitor
extends Object

Expert: provides a low-level means of accessing the stored field values in an index. See IndexReader.document(int, StoredFieldVisitor).

NOTE: a StoredFieldVisitor implementation should not try to load or visit other stored documents in the same reader because the implementation of stored fields for most codecs is not reeentrant and you will see strange exceptions as a result.

See DocumentStoredFieldVisitor, which is a StoredFieldVisitor that builds the Document containing all stored fields. This is used by IndexReader.document(int).

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

Method Detail

binaryField

public void binaryField(FieldInfo fieldInfo,
                        byte[] value)
                 throws IOException

Process a binary field.

Parameters:

value - newly allocated byte array with the binary contents.

Throws:

IOException

stringField

public void stringField(FieldInfo fieldInfo,
                        byte[] value)
                 throws IOException

Process a string field; the provided byte[] value is a UTF-8 encoded string value.

Throws:

IOException

intField

public void intField(FieldInfo fieldInfo,
                     int value)
              throws IOException

Process a int numeric field.

Throws:

IOException

longField

public void longField(FieldInfo fieldInfo,
                      long value)
               throws IOException

Process a long numeric field.

Throws:

IOException

floatField

public void floatField(FieldInfo fieldInfo,
                       float value)
                throws IOException

Process a float numeric field.

Throws:

IOException

doubleField

public void doubleField(FieldInfo fieldInfo,
                        double value)
                 throws IOException

Process a double numeric field.

Throws:

IOException

needsField

public abstract StoredFieldVisitor.Status needsField(FieldInfo fieldInfo)
                                              throws IOException

Hook before processing a field. Before a field is processed, this method is invoked so that subclasses can return a StoredFieldVisitor.Status representing whether they need that particular field or not, or to stop processing entirely.

Throws:

IOException
