Interface TermPositionVector

All Superinterfaces:

TermFreqVector

All Known Implementing Classes:

InstantiatedTermPositionVector

public interface TermPositionVector
extends TermFreqVector

Extends TermFreqVector to provide additional information about positions in which each of the terms is found. A TermPositionVector not necessarily contains both positions and offsets, but at least one of these arrays exists.

Method Summary

Methods

Modifier and Type	Method and Description
TermVectorOffsetInfo[]	getOffsets(int index) Returns an array of TermVectorOffsetInfo in which the term is found.
int[]	getTermPositions(int index) Returns an array of positions in which the term is found.

Method Detail

getTermPositions

int[] getTermPositions(int index)

Returns an array of positions in which the term is found. Terms are identified by the index at which its number appears in the term String array obtained from the indexOf method. May return null if positions have not been stored.

getOffsets

TermVectorOffsetInfo[] getOffsets(int index)

Returns an array of TermVectorOffsetInfo in which the term is found. May return null if offsets have not been stored.

Parameters:

index - The position in the array to get the offsets from

Returns:

An array of TermVectorOffsetInfo objects or the empty list
