Class PostingsWriterBase

    • Constructor Detail

      • PostingsWriterBase

        protected PostingsWriterBase()
        Sole constructor. (For invocation by subclass constructors, typically implicit.)
    • Method Detail

      • init

        public abstract void init​(IndexOutput termsOut,
                                  SegmentWriteState state)
                           throws IOException
        Called once after startup, before any terms have been added. Implementations typically write a header to the provided termsOut.
        Throws:
        IOException
      • writeTerm

        public abstract BlockTermState writeTerm​(BytesRef term,
                                                 TermsEnum termsEnum,
                                                 FixedBitSet docsSeen,
                                                 NormsProducer norms)
                                          throws IOException
        Write all postings for one term; use the provided TermsEnum to pull a PostingsEnum. This method should not re-position the TermsEnum! It is already positioned on the term that should be written. This method must set the bit in the provided FixedBitSet for every docID written. If no docs were written, this method should return null, and the terms dict will skip the term.
        Throws:
        IOException
      • encodeTerm

        public abstract void encodeTerm​(DataOutput out,
                                        FieldInfo fieldInfo,
                                        BlockTermState state,
                                        boolean absolute)
                                 throws IOException
        Encode metadata as long[] and byte[]. absolute controls whether current term is delta encoded according to latest term. Usually elements in longs are file pointers, so each one always increases when a new term is consumed. out is used to write generic bytes, which are not monotonic.
        Throws:
        IOException
      • setField

        public abstract void setField​(FieldInfo fieldInfo)
        Sets the current field for writing.
