Method Summary

void	end() This method is called by the consumer after the last token has been consumed, after TokenStream.incrementToken() returned false (using the new TokenStream API).
boolean	incrementToken() Returns the next token in the stream, or null at EOS.

Method Detail

incrementToken

public boolean incrementToken()
                       throws IOException

Returns the next token in the stream, or null at EOS.

Specified by:

incrementToken in class TokenStream

Returns:

false for end of stream; true otherwise

Throws:

IOException

end

public void end()

Description copied from class: TokenStream

This method is called by the consumer after the last token has been consumed, after TokenStream.incrementToken() returned false (using the new TokenStream API). Streams implementing the old API should upgrade to use this feature.

This method can be used to perform any end-of-stream operations, such as setting the final offset of a stream. The final offset of a stream might differ from the offset of the last token eg in case one or more whitespaces followed after the last token, but a WhitespaceTokenizer was used.

Overrides:

end in class TokenStream

reset

public void reset()
           throws IOException

Description copied from class: TokenStream

Resets this stream to the beginning. This is an optional operation, so subclasses may or may not implement this method. TokenStream.reset() is not needed for the standard indexing process. However, if the tokens of a TokenStream are intended to be consumed more than once, it is necessary to implement TokenStream.reset(). Note that if your TokenStream caches tokens and feeds them back again after a reset, it is imperative that you clone the tokens when you store them away (on the first pass) as well as when you return them (on future passes after TokenStream.reset()).

Overrides:

reset in class TokenStream

Throws:

IOException
