All Known Implementing Classes:

ExternalRefSorter, InMemorySorter

public interface BytesRefSorter

Collects BytesRef and then allows one to iterate over their sorted order. Implementations of this interface will be called in a single-threaded scenario.

WARNING: This API is experimental and might change in incompatible ways in the next release.

NOTE: This API is for internal purposes only and might change in incompatible ways in the next release.

Method Summary

Methods

Modifier and Type	Method and Description

BytesRefIterator	iterator() Sorts the entries added in add(BytesRef) and returns an iterator over all sorted entries.

Method Detail

add

void add(BytesRef utf8)

                IllegalStateException

Adds a single suggestion entry (possibly compound with its bucket).

Throws:

IOException - If an I/O exception occurs.

IllegalStateException - If an addition attempt is performed after a call to iterator() has been made.

iterator

BytesRefIterator iterator()
                          throws IOException

Sorts the entries added in add(BytesRef) and returns an iterator over all sorted entries.

Throws:

IOException - If an I/O exception occurs.

getComparator

Comparator<BytesRef> getComparator()
