Class NoMergePolicy

java.lang.Object
  org.apache.lucene.index.MergePolicy
      org.apache.lucene.index.NoMergePolicy

All Implemented Interfaces:

Closeable

public final class NoMergePolicy
extends MergePolicy

A MergePolicy which never returns merges to execute (hence it's name). It is also a singleton and can be accessed through NO_COMPOUND_FILES if you want to indicate the index does not use compound files, or through COMPOUND_FILES otherwise. Use it if you want to prevent an IndexWriter from ever executing merges, without going through the hassle of tweaking a merge policy's settings to achieve that, such as changing its merge factor.

Method Detail

close

public void close()

Description copied from class: MergePolicy

Release all resources for the policy.

Specified by:

close in interface Closeable

Specified by:

close in class MergePolicy

findMerges

public MergePolicy.MergeSpecification findMerges(SegmentInfos segmentInfos)
                                          throws CorruptIndexException,
                                                 IOException

Description copied from class: MergePolicy

Determine what set of merge operations are now necessary on the index. IndexWriter calls this whenever there is a change to the segments. This call is always synchronized on the IndexWriter instance so only one thread at a time will call this method.

Specified by:

findMerges in class MergePolicy

Parameters:

segmentInfos - the total set of segments in the index

Throws:

CorruptIndexException

IOException

findMergesForOptimize

public MergePolicy.MergeSpecification findMergesForOptimize(SegmentInfos segmentInfos,
                                                            int maxSegmentCount,
                                                            Set<SegmentInfo> segmentsToOptimize)
                                                     throws CorruptIndexException,
                                                            IOException

Description copied from class: MergePolicy

Determine what set of merge operations is necessary in order to optimize the index. IndexWriter calls this when its IndexWriter.optimize() method is called. This call is always synchronized on the IndexWriter instance so only one thread at a time will call this method.

Specified by:

findMergesForOptimize in class MergePolicy

Parameters:

segmentInfos - the total set of segments in the index

maxSegmentCount - requested maximum number of segments in the index (currently this is always 1)

segmentsToOptimize - contains the specific SegmentInfo instances that must be merged away. This may be a subset of all SegmentInfos.

Throws:

CorruptIndexException

IOException

findMergesToExpungeDeletes

public MergePolicy.MergeSpecification findMergesToExpungeDeletes(SegmentInfos segmentInfos)
                                                          throws CorruptIndexException,
                                                                 IOException

Description copied from class: MergePolicy

Determine what set of merge operations is necessary in order to expunge all deletes from the index.

Specified by:

findMergesToExpungeDeletes in class MergePolicy

Parameters:

segmentInfos - the total set of segments in the index

Throws:

CorruptIndexException

IOException

useCompoundFile

public boolean useCompoundFile(SegmentInfos segments,
                               SegmentInfo newSegment)

Description copied from class: MergePolicy

Returns true if a new segment (regardless of its origin) should use the compound file format.

Specified by:

useCompoundFile in class MergePolicy

setIndexWriter

public void setIndexWriter(IndexWriter writer)

Description copied from class: MergePolicy

Sets the IndexWriter to use by this merge policy. This method is allowed to be called only once, and is usually set by IndexWriter. If it is called more than once, SetOnce.AlreadySetException is thrown.

Overrides:

setIndexWriter in class MergePolicy

toString

public String toString()

Overrides:
