NGramTokenizer

public NGramTokenizer(AttributeSource source,
                      Reader input,
                      int minGram,
                      int maxGram)
Creates NGramTokenizer with given min and max n-grams.

Parameters:
source - AttributeSource to use
input - Reader holding the input to be tokenized
minGram - the smallest n-gram to generate
maxGram - the largest n-gram to generate

public NGramTokenizer(AttributeSource.AttributeFactory factory,
                      Reader input,
                      int minGram,

Method Detail

incrementToken

public final boolean incrementToken()
                             throws IOException
Returns the next token in the stream, or null at EOS.

Specified by:
incrementToken in class TokenStream
Returns:
false for end of stream; true otherwise
Throws:
IOException

end

public final void end()
Description copied from class: TokenStream
This method is called by the consumer after the last token has been consumed, after TokenStream.incrementToken() returned false (using the new TokenStream API). Streams implementing the old API should upgrade to use this feature.

This method can be used to perform any end-of-stream operations, such as setting the final offset of a stream. The final offset of a stream might differ from the offset of the last token eg in case one or more whitespaces followed after the last token, but a WhitespaceTokenizer was used.

Overrides:
end in class TokenStream

reset

public void reset(Reader input)
           throws IOException
Description copied from class: Tokenizer
Expert: Reset the tokenizer to a new reader. Typically, an analyzer (in its reusableTokenStream method) will use this to re-use a previously created tokenizer.

Overrides:
reset in class Tokenizer
Throws:
IOException

reset

public void reset()
           throws IOException
Description copied from class: TokenStream
Resets this stream to the beginning. This is an optional operation, so subclasses may or may not implement this method. TokenStream.reset() is not needed for the standard indexing process. However, if the tokens of a TokenStream are intended to be consumed more than once, it is necessary to implement TokenStream.reset(). Note that if your TokenStream caches tokens and feeds them back again after a reset, it is imperative that you clone the tokens when you store them away (on the first pass) as well as when you return them (on future passes after TokenStream.reset()).

Overrides:
reset in class TokenStream
Throws:
IOException
