Class MultiCollector

java.lang.Object
  extended by org.apache.lucene.search.Collector
      extended by 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
 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(IndexReader reader, int o)
          Called before collecting from each IndexReader.
 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:

Throws:
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.

acceptsDocsOutOfOrder in class Collector

collect

public void collect(int doc)
             throws IOException
Description copied from class: Collector
Called once for every document matching a query, with the unbased document number.

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

Throws:
IOException

setNextReader

public void setNextReader(IndexReader reader,
                          int o)
                   throws IOException
Description copied from class: Collector
Called before collecting from each IndexReader. All doc ids in Collector.collect(int) will correspond to reader. Add docBase to the current IndexReaders internal document id to re-base ids in Collector.collect(int).

Specified by:
setNextReader in class Collector
Parameters:
reader - next IndexReader
Throws:
IOException

setScorer

public void setScorer(Scorer s)
               throws 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:
IOException
