org.apache.lucene.util.BytesRefArray

public final class BytesRefArray
extends Object

A simple append only random-access BytesRef array that stores full copies of the appended bytes in a ByteBlockPool. Note: This class is not Thread-Safe!

Constructor Detail

BytesRefArray

public BytesRefArray(Counter bytesUsed)

Creates a new BytesRefArray with a counter to track allocated bytes

Method Detail

clear

public void clear()

Clears this BytesRefArray

append

public int append(BytesRef bytes)

Appends a copy of the given BytesRef to this BytesRefArray.

Parameters:

bytes - the bytes to append

Returns:

the index of the appended bytes

size

public int size()

Returns the current size of this BytesRefArray

Returns:

the current size of this BytesRefArray

get

public BytesRef get(BytesRefBuilder spare,
                    int index)

Returns the n'th element of this BytesRefArray

Parameters:

spare - a spare BytesRef instance

index - the elements index to retrieve

Returns:

the n'th element of this BytesRefArray

iterator

public BytesRefIterator iterator()

sugar for iterator(Comparator) with a null comparator

iterator

public BytesRefIterator iterator(Comparator<BytesRef> comp)

Returns a BytesRefIterator with point in time semantics. The iterator provides access to all so far appended BytesRef instances.

If a non null Comparator is provided the iterator will iterate the byte values in the order specified by the comparator. Otherwise the order is the same as the values were appended.

This is a non-destructive operation.
