public final class NoMergePolicy
extends MergePolicy

A MergePolicy which never returns merges to execute (hence it's name). It is also a singleton and can be accessed through NO_COMPOUND_FILES if you want to indicate the index does not use compound files, or through COMPOUND_FILES otherwise. Use it if you want to prevent an IndexWriter from ever executing merges, without going through the hassle of tweaking a merge policy's settings to achieve that, such as changing its merge factor.

Field Detail

NO_COMPOUND_FILES

public static final MergePolicy NO_COMPOUND_FILES
A singleton NoMergePolicy which indicates the index does not use compound files.


COMPOUND_FILES

public static final MergePolicy COMPOUND_FILES
A singleton NoMergePolicy which indicates the index uses compound files.

Method Detail

close

public void close()
Description copied from class: MergePolicy
Release all resources for the policy.

Specified by:
close in interface Closeable
Specified by:
close in class MergePolicy

findMerges

public MergePolicy.MergeSpecification findMerges(SegmentInfos segmentInfos)
                                          throws CorruptIndexException,
                                                 IOException
Description copied from class: MergePolicy
Determine what set of merge operations are now necessary on the index. IndexWriter calls this whenever there is a change to the segments. This call is always synchronized on the IndexWriter instance so only one thread at a time will call this method.

Specified by:
findMerges in class MergePolicy
Parameters:
segmentInfos - the total set of segments in the index
Throws:
CorruptIndexException
IOException

findForcedMerges

public MergePolicy.MergeSpecification findForcedMerges(SegmentInfos segmentInfos,
                                                       int maxSegmentCount,
                                                       Map<SegmentInfo,Boolean> segmentsToMerge)
                                                throws CorruptIndexException,
                                                       IOException
Description copied from class: MergePolicy
Determine what set of merge operations is necessary in order to merge to <= the specified segment count. IndexWriter calls this when its IndexWriter.forceMerge(int) method is called. This call is always synchronized on the IndexWriter instance so only one thread at a time will call this method.

Specified by:
findForcedMerges in class MergePolicy
Parameters:
segmentInfos - the total set of segments in the index
maxSegmentCount - requested maximum number of segments in the index (currently this is always 1)
segmentsToMerge - contains the specific SegmentInfo instances that must be merged away. This may be a subset of all SegmentInfos. If the value is True for a given SegmentInfo, that means this segment was an original segment present in the to-be-merged index; else, it was a segment produced by a cascaded merge.
Throws:
CorruptIndexException
IOException

findForcedDeletesMerges

public MergePolicy.MergeSpecification findForcedDeletesMerges(SegmentInfos segmentInfos)
                                                       throws CorruptIndexException,
                                                              IOException
Description copied from class: MergePolicy
Determine what set of merge operations is necessary in order to expunge all deletes from the index.

Specified by:
findForcedDeletesMerges in class MergePolicy
Parameters:
segmentInfos - the total set of segments in the index
Throws:
CorruptIndexException
IOException

useCompoundFile

public boolean useCompoundFile(SegmentInfos segments,
                               SegmentInfo newSegment)
Description copied from class: MergePolicy
Returns true if a new segment (regardless of its origin) should use the compound file format.

Specified by:
useCompoundFile in class MergePolicy

setIndexWriter

public void setIndexWriter(IndexWriter writer)
Description copied from class: MergePolicy
Sets the IndexWriter to use by this merge policy. This method is allowed to be called only once, and is usually set by IndexWriter. If it is called more than once, SetOnce.AlreadySetException is thrown.

Overrides:
setIndexWriter in class MergePolicy

SetOnce

toString

public String toString()
Overrides:
toString in class Object
