Constructor Detail

RemoteSearchable

public RemoteSearchable(Searchable local)
                 throws RemoteException

Constructs and exports a remote searcher.

Throws:

RemoteException

Method Detail

search

public void search(Weight weight,
                   Filter filter,
                   HitCollector results)
            throws IOException

Description copied from interface: Searchable

Lower-level search API.

HitCollector.collect(int,float) is called for every non-zero scoring document.
HitCollector-based access to remote indexes is discouraged.

Applications should only use this if they need all of the matching documents. The high-level search API (Searcher.search(Query)) is usually more efficient, as it skips non-high-scoring hits.

Specified by:

search in interface Searchable

Parameters:

weight - to match documents

filter - if non-null, a bitset used to eliminate some documents

results - to receive hits

Throws:

IOException

close

public void close()
           throws IOException

Description copied from interface: Searchable

Frees resources associated with this Searcher. Be careful not to call this method while you are still using objects like Hits.

Specified by:

close in interface Searchable

Throws:

IOException

docFreq

public int docFreq(Term term)
            throws IOException

Description copied from interface: Searchable

Expert: Returns the number of documents containing term. Called by search code to compute term weights.

Specified by:

docFreq in interface Searchable

Throws:

IOException

See Also:

IndexReader.docFreq(Term)

docFreqs

public int[] docFreqs(Term[] terms)
               throws IOException

Description copied from interface: Searchable

Expert: For each term in the terms array, calculates the number of documents containing term. Returns an array with these document frequencies. Used to minimize number of remote calls.

Specified by:

docFreqs in interface Searchable

Throws:

IOException

maxDoc

public int maxDoc()
           throws IOException

Description copied from interface: Searchable

Expert: Returns one greater than the largest possible document number. Called by search code to compute term weights.

Specified by:

maxDoc in interface Searchable

Throws:

IOException

See Also:

IndexReader.maxDoc()

search

public TopDocs search(Weight weight,
                      Filter filter,
                      int n)
               throws IOException

Description copied from interface: Searchable

Expert: Low-level search implementation. Finds the top n hits for query, applying filter if non-null.

Called by Hits.

Applications should usually call Searcher.search(Query) or Searcher.search(Query,Filter) instead.

Specified by:

search in interface Searchable

Throws:

IOException

search

public TopFieldDocs search(Weight weight,
                           Filter filter,
                           int n,
                           Sort sort)
                    throws IOException

Description copied from interface: Searchable

Expert: Low-level search implementation with arbitrary sorting. Finds the top n hits for query, applying filter if non-null, and sorting the hits by the criteria in sort.

Applications should usually call Searcher.search(Query,Filter,Sort) instead.

Specified by:

search in interface Searchable

Throws:

IOException

doc

public Document doc(int i)
             throws IOException

Description copied from interface: Searchable

Expert: Returns the stored fields of document i. Called by HitCollector implementations.

Specified by:

doc in interface Searchable

Throws:

IOException

See Also:

IndexReader.document(int)

rewrite

public Query rewrite(Query original)
              throws IOException

Description copied from interface: Searchable

Expert: called to re-write queries into primitive queries.

Specified by:

rewrite in interface Searchable

Throws:

IOException

explain

public Explanation explain(Weight weight,
                           int doc)
                    throws IOException

Description copied from interface: Searchable

Expert: low-level implementation method Returns an Explanation that describes how doc scored against weight.

This is intended to be used in developing Similarity implementations, and, for good performance, should not be displayed with every hit. Computing an explanation is as expensive as executing the query over the entire index.

Applications should call Searcher.explain(Query, int).

Specified by:

explain in interface Searchable

Throws:

IOException

main

public static void main(String[] args)
                 throws Exception

Exports a searcher for the index in args[0] named "//localhost/Searchable".

Throws:

Exception
