Class IndexReaderContext

java.lang.Object
  org.apache.lucene.index.IndexReaderContext

Direct Known Subclasses:

AtomicReaderContext, CompositeReaderContext

public abstract class IndexReaderContext
extends Object

A struct like class that represents a hierarchical relationship between IndexReader instances.

Field Summary

int	docBaseInParent the doc base for this reader in the parent, 0 if parent is null
boolean	isTopLevel true if this context struct represents the top level reader within the hierarchical context
int	ordInParent the ord for this reader in the parent, 0 if parent is null
CompositeReaderContext	parent The reader context for this reader's immediate parent, or null if none

Method Summary

abstract List<IndexReaderContext>	children() Returns the context's children iff this context is a composite context otherwise null.
abstract List<AtomicReaderContext>	leaves() Returns the context's leaves if this context is a top-level context.
abstract IndexReader	reader() Returns the IndexReader, this context represents.

Field Detail

parent

public final CompositeReaderContext parent

The reader context for this reader's immediate parent, or null if none

isTopLevel

public final boolean isTopLevel

true if this context struct represents the top level reader within the hierarchical context

docBaseInParent

public final int docBaseInParent

the doc base for this reader in the parent, 0 if parent is null

ordInParent

public final int ordInParent

the ord for this reader in the parent, 0 if parent is null

Method Detail

reader

public abstract IndexReader reader()

Returns the IndexReader, this context represents.

leaves

public abstract List<AtomicReaderContext> leaves()
                                          throws UnsupportedOperationException

Returns the context's leaves if this context is a top-level context. For convenience, if this is an AtomicReaderContext this returns itself as the only leaf.

Note: this is convenience method since leaves can always be obtained by walking the context tree using children().

Throws:

UnsupportedOperationException - if this is not a top-level context.

children

public abstract List<IndexReaderContext> children()
