Class CategoryAttributesStream

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    Closeable, AutoCloseable

    public class CategoryAttributesStream
    extends TokenStream
    An attribute stream built from an Iterable of CategoryAttribute. This stream should then be passed through several filters (see CategoryParentsStream, CategoryListTokenizer and CategoryTokenizer) until a token stream is produced that can be indexed by Lucene.

    A CategoryAttributesStream object can be reused for producing more than one stream. To do that, the user should cause the underlying Iterable object to return a new set of categories, and then call reset() to allow this stream to be used again.

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

      • incrementToken

        public final boolean incrementToken()
                                     throws IOException
        Description copied from class: TokenStream
        Consumers (i.e., IndexWriter) use this method to advance the stream to the next token. Implementing classes must implement this method and update the appropriate AttributeImpls with the attributes of the next token.

        The producer must make no assumptions about the attributes after the method has been returned: the caller may arbitrarily change it. If the producer needs to preserve the state for subsequent calls, it can use AttributeSource.captureState() to create a copy of the current attribute state.

        This method is called for every token of a document, so an efficient implementation is crucial for good performance. To avoid calls to AttributeSource.addAttribute(Class) and AttributeSource.getAttribute(Class), references to all AttributeImpls that this stream uses should be retrieved during instantiation.

        To ensure that filters and consumers know which attributes are available, the attributes must be added during instantiation. Filters and consumers are not required to check for availability of attributes in TokenStream.incrementToken().

        Specified by:
        incrementToken in class TokenStream
        Returns:
        false for end of stream; true otherwise
        Throws:
        IOException
      • reset

        public void reset()
        Description copied from class: TokenStream
        Resets this stream to the beginning. This is an optional operation, so subclasses may or may not implement this method. TokenStream.reset() is not needed for the standard indexing process. However, if the tokens of a TokenStream are intended to be consumed more than once, it is necessary to implement TokenStream.reset(). Note that if your TokenStream caches tokens and feeds them back again after a reset, it is imperative that you clone the tokens when you store them away (on the first pass) as well as when you return them (on future passes after TokenStream.reset()).
