                   throws IOException,
                          ParseException

        Parameters:
        tempDir - Directory to use for offline sorting
        tempFileNamePrefix - prefix to use to generate temp file names
        affix - InputStream for reading the hunspell affix file (won't be closed).
        dictionary - InputStream for reading the hunspell dictionary file (won't be closed).
        Throws:
        IOException - Can be thrown while reading from the InputStreams
        ParseException - Can be thrown if the content of the files does not meet expected formats

    • Method Detail

      • lookupEntries

        public DictEntries lookupEntries​(String root)
        Parameters:
        root - a string to look up in the dictionary. No case conversion or affix removal is performed. To get the possible roots of any word, you may call Hunspell.getRoots(String)
        Returns:
        the dictionary entries for the given root, or null if there's none
      • hashFactor

        protected double hashFactor()
        The factor determining the size of the internal hash table used for storing the entries. The table size is entry_count * hashFactor. The default factor is 1.0. If there are too many hash collisions, the factor can be increased, resulting in faster access, but more memory usage.
      • tolerateAffixRuleCountMismatches

        protected boolean tolerateAffixRuleCountMismatches()
        Whether incorrect PFX/SFX rule counts should be silently ignored. False by default: a ParseException will happen.
      • getIgnoreCase

        public boolean getIgnoreCase()
        Returns true if this dictionary was constructed with the ignoreCase option
