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.

close

public abstract void close()
                    throws IOException
