Class MultiCollector

org.apache.lucene.search.MultiCollector

public class MultiCollector
extends Collector

A Collector which allows running a search with several Collectors. It offers a static wrap(org.apache.lucene.search.Collector...) method which accepts a list of collectors and wraps them with MultiCollector, while filtering out the null null ones.

Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method	Description
boolean	acceptsDocsOutOfOrder()	Return true if this collector does not require the matching docIDs to be delivered in int sort order (smallest to largest) to Collector.collect(int).
void	collect(int doc)	Called once for every document matching a query, with the unbased document number.
void	setNextReader(AtomicReaderContext context)	Called before collecting from each AtomicReaderContext.
void	setScorer(Scorer s)	Called before successive calls to Collector.collect(int).
static Collector	wrap(Collector... collectors)	Wraps a list of Collectors with a MultiCollector.

Method Detail

wrap

public static Collector wrap(Collector... collectors)

Wraps a list of Collectors with a MultiCollector. This method works as follows:

• Filters out the null collectors, so they are not used during search time.
• If the input contains 1 real collector (i.e. non-null ), it is returned.
• Otherwise the method returns a MultiCollector which wraps the non-null ones.

Throws:

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if either 0 collectors were input, or all collectors are null.

acceptsDocsOutOfOrder

public boolean acceptsDocsOutOfOrder()

Description copied from class: Collector

Return true if this collector does not require the matching docIDs to be delivered in int sort order (smallest to largest) to Collector.collect(int).

Most Lucene Query implementations will visit matching docIDs in order. However, some queries (currently limited to certain cases of BooleanQuery) can achieve faster searching if the Collector allows them to deliver the docIDs out of order.

Many collectors don't mind getting docIDs out of order, so it's important to return true here.

collect

public void collect(int doc)
             throws java.io.IOException

Description copied from class: Collector

Called once for every document matching a query, with the unbased document number.

Note: The collection of the current segment can be terminated by throwing a CollectionTerminatedException. In this case, the last docs of the current AtomicReaderContext will be skipped and IndexSearcher will swallow the exception and continue collection with the next leaf.

Note: This is called in an inner search loop. For good search performance, implementations of this method should not call IndexSearcher.doc(int) or IndexReader.document(int) on every hit. Doing so can slow searches by an order of magnitude or more.

Throws:

java.io.IOException

setNextReader

public void setNextReader(AtomicReaderContext context)
                   throws java.io.IOException

Description copied from class: Collector

Called before collecting from each AtomicReaderContext. All doc ids in Collector.collect(int) will correspond to IndexReaderContext.reader(). Add AtomicReaderContext.docBase to the current IndexReaderContext.reader()'s internal document id to re-base ids in Collector.collect(int).

Specified by:

setNextReader in class Collector

Parameters:

context - next atomic reader context

Throws:

java.io.IOException

setScorer

public void setScorer(Scorer s)
               throws java.io.IOException

Description copied from class: Collector

Called before successive calls to Collector.collect(int). Implementations that need the score of the current document (passed-in to Collector.collect(int)), should save the passed-in Scorer and call scorer.score() when needed.

Specified by:

setScorer in class Collector

Throws:

java.io.IOException
