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

    public final class FieldInfo

extends Object

Access to the Field Info file that describes document fields and whether or not they are indexed. Each segment has a separate Field Info file. Objects of this class are thread-safe for multiple readers, but only one thread can be adding documents at a time, with no other reader or writer threads accessing this object.

Nested Class Summary
`static class` `FieldInfo.DocValuesType` DocValues types.
`static class` `FieldInfo.IndexOptions` Controls how much information is stored in the postings lists.

Field Summary
`String` `name` Field's name
`int` `number` Internal field number

Constructor Summary
`FieldInfo(String name, boolean indexed, int number, boolean storeTermVector, boolean omitNorms, boolean storePayloads, FieldInfo.IndexOptions indexOptions, FieldInfo.DocValuesType docValues, FieldInfo.DocValuesType normsType, Map<String,String> attributes)` Sole Constructor.

Method Summary
`Map<String,String>` `attributes()` Returns internal codec attributes map.
`String` `getAttribute(String key)` Get a codec attribute value, or null if it does not exist
`FieldInfo.DocValuesType` `getDocValuesType()` Returns `FieldInfo.DocValuesType` of the docValues.
`FieldInfo.IndexOptions` `getIndexOptions()` Returns IndexOptions for the field, or null if the field is not indexed
`FieldInfo.DocValuesType` `getNormType()` Returns `FieldInfo.DocValuesType` of the norm.
`boolean` `hasDocValues()` Returns true if this field has any docValues.
`boolean` `hasNorms()` Returns true if this field actually has any norms.
`boolean` `hasPayloads()` Returns true if any payloads exist for this field.
`boolean` `hasVectors()` Returns true if any term vectors exist for this field.
`boolean` `isIndexed()` Returns true if this field is indexed.
`boolean` `omitsNorms()` Returns true if norms are explicitly omitted for this field
`String` `putAttribute(String key, String value)` Puts a codec attribute value.

                     boolean indexed,
                     int number,
                     boolean storeTermVector,

                     FieldInfo.DocValuesType normsType,
                     Map<String,String> attributes)

  Sole Constructor.

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

Method Detail

### getIndexOptions

    public FieldInfo.IndexOptions getIndexOptions()

  Returns IndexOptions for the field, or null if the field is not indexed

### hasDocValues

    public boolean hasDocValues()

  Returns true if this field has any docValues.

### getDocValuesType

    public FieldInfo.DocValuesType getDocValuesType()

  Returns `FieldInfo.DocValuesType` of the docValues. this may be null if the field has no docvalues.

### getNormType

    public FieldInfo.DocValuesType getNormType()

  Returns `FieldInfo.DocValuesType` of the norm. this may be null if the field has no norms.

### omitsNorms

    public boolean omitsNorms()

  Returns true if norms are explicitly omitted for this field

### hasNorms

    public boolean hasNorms()

  Returns true if this field actually has any norms.

### isIndexed

    public boolean isIndexed()

  Returns true if this field is indexed.

### hasPayloads

    public boolean hasPayloads()

  Returns true if any payloads exist for this field.

### hasVectors

    public boolean hasVectors()

  Returns true if any term vectors exist for this field.

### getAttribute

    public String getAttribute(String key)

  Get a codec attribute value, or null if it does not exist

### putAttribute

    public String putAttribute(String key,
                               String value)

  Puts a codec attribute value.

  This is a key-value mapping for the field that the codec can use to store additional metadata, and will be available to the codec when reading the segment via `getAttribute(String)`

  If a value already exists for the field, it will be replaced with the new value.

### attributes

    public Map<String,String> attributes()

  Returns internal codec attributes map. May be null if no mappings exist.
