org.apache.lucene.search.similarities.PerFieldSimilarityWrapper

public abstract class PerFieldSimilarityWrapper
extends Similarity

Provides the ability to use a different Similarity for different fields.

Subclasses should implement get(String) to return an appropriate Similarity (for example, using field-specific parameter values) for the field.

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

Sole constructor. (For invocation by subclass constructors, typically implicit.)

Method Details

computeNorm

public final long computeNorm(FieldInvertState state)

Description copied from class: Similarity

Computes the normalization value for a field, given the accumulated state of term processing for this field (see FieldInvertState).

Matches in longer fields are less precise, so implementations of this method usually set smaller values when state.getLength() is large, and larger values when state.getLength() is small.

Note that for a given term-document frequency, greater unsigned norms must produce scores that are lower or equal, ie. for two encoded norms n1 and n2 so that Long.compareUnsigned(n1, n2) > 0 then SimScorer.score(freq, n1) <= SimScorer.score(freq, n2) for any legal freq.

0 is not a legal norm, so 1 is the norm that produces the highest scores.

Specified by:

computeNorm in class Similarity

Parameters:

state - current processing state for this field

Returns:

computed norm value

scorer

public final Similarity.SimScorer scorer(float boost,
 CollectionStatistics collectionStats,
 TermStatistics... termStats)

Description copied from class: Similarity

Compute any collection-level weight (e.g. IDF, average document length, etc) needed for scoring a query.

Specified by:

scorer in class Similarity

Parameters:

boost - a multiplicative factor to apply to the produces scores

collectionStats - collection-level statistics, such as the number of tokens in the collection.

termStats - term-level statistics, such as the document frequency of a term across the collection.

Returns:

SimWeight object with the information this Similarity needs to score a query.

get

public abstract Similarity get(String name)

Returns a Similarity for scoring a field.
