Class ToParentBlockJoinQuery

java.lang.Object

org.apache.lucene.search.Query

org.apache.lucene.search.join.ToParentBlockJoinQuery

public class ToParentBlockJoinQuery
extends Query

This query requires that you index children and parent docs as a single block, using the IndexWriter.addDocuments() or IndexWriter.updateDocuments() API. In each block, the child documents must appear first, ending with the parent document. At search time you provide a Filter identifying the parents, however this Filter must provide an BitSet per sub-reader.

Once the block index is built, use this query to wrap any sub-query matching only child docs and join matches in that child document space up to the parent document space. You can then use this Query as a clause with other queries in the parent document space.

See ToChildBlockJoinQuery if you need to join in the reverse order.

The child documents must be orthogonal to the parent documents: the wrapped child query must never return a parent document.

See org.apache.lucene.search.join for an overview.

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