Interface Scorer

  • All Known Implementing Classes:
    QueryScorer, QueryTermScorer

    public interface Scorer
    A Scorer is responsible for scoring a stream of tokens. These token scores can then be used to compute TextFragment scores.

      All Methods Instance Methods Abstract Methods 
      Modifier and Type Method Description
      float getFragmentScore()
      Called when the Highlighter has no more tokens for the current fragment - the Scorer returns the weighting it has derived for the most recent fragment, typically based on the results of getTokenScore().
      float getTokenScore()
      Called for each token in the current fragment.
      org.apache.lucene.analysis.TokenStream init​(org.apache.lucene.analysis.TokenStream tokenStream)
      Called to init the Scorer with a TokenStream.
      void startFragment​(TextFragment newFragment)
      Called when a new fragment is started for consideration.
    • Method Detail

      • init

        org.apache.lucene.analysis.TokenStream init​(org.apache.lucene.analysis.TokenStream tokenStream)
                                             throws IOException
        Called to init the Scorer with a TokenStream. You can grab references to the attributes you are interested in here and access them from getTokenScore().
        Parameters:
        tokenStream - the TokenStream that will be scored.
        Returns:
        either a TokenStream that the Highlighter should continue using (eg if you read the tokenSream in this method) or null to continue using the same TokenStream that was passed in.
        Throws:
        IOException
      • startFragment

        void startFragment​(TextFragment newFragment)
        Called when a new fragment is started for consideration.
        Parameters:
        newFragment - the fragment that will be scored next
      • getTokenScore

        float getTokenScore()
        Called for each token in the current fragment. The Highlighter will increment the TokenStream passed to init on every call.
        Returns:
        a score which is passed to the Highlighter class to influence the mark-up of the text (this return value is NOT used to score the fragment)
      • getFragmentScore

        float getFragmentScore()
        Called when the Highlighter has no more tokens for the current fragment - the Scorer returns the weighting it has derived for the most recent fragment, typically based on the results of getTokenScore().
