Class CompletionPostingsFormat

java.lang.Object

org.apache.lucene.codecs.PostingsFormat

org.apache.lucene.search.suggest.document.CompletionPostingsFormat

All Implemented Interfaces:

NamedSPILoader.NamedSPI

Direct Known Subclasses:

Completion50PostingsFormat

public abstract class CompletionPostingsFormat
extends PostingsFormat

A PostingsFormat which supports document suggestion based on indexed SuggestFields. Document suggestion is based on an weighted FST which map analyzed terms of a SuggestField to its surface form and document id.

Files:

• .lkp: Completion Dictionary
• .cmp: Completion Index

Completion Dictionary

The .lkp file contains an FST for each suggest field

• CompletionDict (.lkp) --> Header, FST^{NumSuggestFields}, Footer
• Header --> CodecHeader
• FST --> FST<Long, BytesRef>
• Footer --> CodecFooter

Notes:

• Header is a CodecHeader storing the version information for the Completion implementation.
• FST maps all analyzed forms to surface forms of a SuggestField

Completion Index

The .cmp file contains an index into the completion dictionary, so that it can be accessed randomly.

• CompletionIndex (.cmp) --> Header, NumSuggestFields, Entry^{NumSuggestFields}, Footer
• Header --> CodecHeader
• NumSuggestFields --> Uint32
• Entry --> FieldNumber, CompletionDictionaryOffset, MinWeight, MaxWeight, Type
• FieldNumber --> Uint32
• CompletionDictionaryOffset --> Uint64
• MinWeight --> Uint64
• MaxWeight --> Uint64
• Type --> Byte
• Footer --> CodecFooter

Notes:

• Header is a CodecHeader storing the version information for the Completion implementation.
• NumSuggestFields is the number of suggest fields indexed
• FieldNumber is the fields number from FieldInfos. (.fnm)
• CompletionDictionaryOffset is the file offset of a field's FST in CompletionDictionary (.lkp)
• MinWeight and MaxWeight are the global minimum and maximum weight for the field
• Type indicates if the suggester has context or not

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