Class FieldCacheDocIdSet

    java.lang.Object
      org.apache.lucene.search.DocIdSet
          org.apache.lucene.search.FieldCacheDocIdSet

    public abstract class FieldCacheDocIdSet

extends DocIdSet

Base class for DocIdSet to be used with FieldCache. The implementation of its iterator is very stupid and slow if the implementation of the `matchDoc(int)` method is not optimized, as iterators simply increment the document id until `matchDoc(int)` returns true. Because of this `matchDoc(int)` must be as fast as possible and in no case do any I/O.

NOTE: This API is for internal purposes only and might change in incompatible ways in the next release.

Field Summary
`protected Bits` `acceptDocs`
`protected int` `maxDoc`

Constructor Summary
`FieldCacheDocIdSet(int maxDoc, Bits acceptDocs)`

Method Summary
`Bits` `bits()` Optionally provides a `Bits` interface for random access to matching documents.
`boolean` `isCacheable()` this DocIdSet is always cacheable (does not go back to the reader for iteration)
`DocIdSetIterator` `iterator()` Provides a `DocIdSetIterator` to access the set.
`protected abstract boolean` `matchDoc(int doc)` this method checks, if a doc is a hit

Field Detail

### maxDoc

    protected final int maxDoc

### acceptDocs

    protected final Bits acceptDocs

Constructor Detail

### FieldCacheDocIdSet

    public FieldCacheDocIdSet(int maxDoc,
                              Bits acceptDocs)

Method Detail

### matchDoc

    protected abstract boolean matchDoc(int doc)

  this method checks, if a doc is a hit

### isCacheable

    public final boolean isCacheable()

  this DocIdSet is always cacheable (does not go back to the reader for iteration)

  Overrides:
    `isCacheable` in class `DocIdSet`

### bits

    public final Bits bits()

  Description copied from class: `DocIdSet`
  Optionally provides a `Bits` interface for random access to matching documents.

  Overrides:
    `bits` in class `DocIdSet`
  Returns:
    `null`, if this `DocIdSet` does not support random access. In contrast to `DocIdSet.iterator()`, a return value of `null` does not imply that no documents match the filter! The default implementation does not provide random access, so you only need to implement this method if your DocIdSet can guarantee random access to every docid in O(1) time without external disk access (as `Bits` interface cannot throw `IOException`). This is generally true for bit sets like `FixedBitSet`, which return itself if they are used as `DocIdSet`.

### iterator

    public final DocIdSetIterator iterator()
                                    throws IOException

  Description copied from class: `DocIdSet`
  Provides a `DocIdSetIterator` to access the set. This implementation can return `null` if there are no docs that match.

  Specified by:
    `iterator` in class `DocIdSet`
  Throws:
    `IOException`
