public final class ByteSequenceOutputs
extends Outputs<BytesRef>

An FST Outputs implementation where each output is a sequence of bytes.

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

Method Summary
 BytesRef add(BytesRef prefix, BytesRef output)

 BytesRef common(BytesRef output1, BytesRef output2)
          Eg common("foo", "foobar") -> "foo"
 BytesRef getNoOutput()
          NOTE: this output is compared with == so you must ensure that all methods return the single object if it's really no output
static ByteSequenceOutputs getSingleton()
           
 String outputToString(BytesRef output)
           
 BytesRef read(DataInput in)
           
 BytesRef subtract(BytesRef output, BytesRef inc)
          Eg subtract("foobar", "foo") -> "bar"
