  org.apache.lucene.util.fst.Outputs<Object>
      org.apache.lucene.util.fst.NoOutputs

public final class NoOutputs
extends Outputs<Object>

A null FST Outputs implementation; use this if you just want to build an FSA.

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

Method Summary

Object	add(Object prefix, Object output) Eg add("foo", "bar") -> "foobar"
Object	common(Object output1, Object output2) Eg common("foo", "foobar") -> "foo"
Object	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 NoOutputs	getSingleton()
String	outputToString(Object output)
Object	read(DataInput in)
Object	subtract(Object output, Object inc) Eg subtract("foobar", "foo") -> "bar"
void	write(Object prefix, DataOutput out)
