java.lang.Object
- org.apache.lucene.analysis.hunspell.SortingStrategy

```
public abstract class SortingStrategy
extends Object
```
The strategy defining how a Hunspell dictionary should be loaded, with different tradeoffs. The entries should be sorted in a special way, and this can be done either in-memory (faster, but temporarily allocating more memory) or using disk (slower, but not needing much memory).

public static SortingStrategy offline(Directory tempDir,
                                      String tempFileNamePrefix)
```
    An "offline" strategy that creates temporary files in the given directory and uses them for sorting with OfflineSorter. It's slower than inMemory(), but doesn't need to load the entire dictionary into memory.
  - inMemory
```
public static SortingStrategy inMemory()
```
    The strategy that loads all entries as String objects and sorts them in memory. The entries are then stored in a more compressed way, and the strings are gc-ed, but the loading itself needs O(dictionary_size) memory.
