Constructor Detail

PrefixQuery

public PrefixQuery(Term prefix)

Constructs a query for terms starting with prefix.

Method Detail

toAutomaton

public static Automaton toAutomaton(BytesRef prefix)

Build an automaton accepting all terms with the specified prefix.

getPrefix

public Term getPrefix()

Returns the prefix of this query.

toString

public String toString(String field)

Prints a user-readable version of this query.

Overrides:

toString in class AutomatonQuery

hashCode

public int hashCode()

Description copied from class: Query

Override and implement query hash code properly in a subclass. This is required so that QueryCache works properly.

Overrides:

hashCode in class AutomatonQuery

Query.equals(Object)

equals

public boolean equals(Object obj)

Description copied from class: Query

Override and implement query instance equivalence properly in a subclass. This is required so that QueryCache works properly. Typically a query will be equal to another only if it's an instance of the same class and its document-filtering properties are identical that other instance. Utility methods are provided for certain repetitive code.

Overrides:

equals in class AutomatonQuery
