Class STUniformSplitPostingsFormat

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    NamedSPILoader.NamedSPI

    public class STUniformSplitPostingsFormat
    extends UniformSplitPostingsFormat
    PostingsFormat based on the Uniform Split technique and supporting Shared Terms.

    Shared Terms means the terms of all fields are stored in the same block file, with multiple fields associated to one term (one block line). In the same way, the dictionary trie is also shared between all fields. This highly reduces the memory required by the field dictionary compared to having one separate dictionary per field.

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