    public class FuzzyTermsEnum

extends TermsEnum

Subclass of TermsEnum for enumerating all terms that are similar to the specified filter term.

Term enumerations are always ordered by `getComparator()`. Each term in the enumeration is greater than all that precede it.

Nested Class Summary
`static interface` `FuzzyTermsEnum.LevenshteinAutomataAttribute` reuses compiled automata across different segments, because they are independent of the index
`static class` `FuzzyTermsEnum.LevenshteinAutomataAttributeImpl` Stores compiled automata as a list (indexed by edit distance)

### FuzzyTermsEnum

    public FuzzyTermsEnum(Terms terms,
                          AttributeSource atts,
                          Term term,
                          float minSimilarity,
                          int prefixLength,
                          boolean transpositions)
                   throws IOException

  Constructor for enumeration of all terms from specified `reader` which share a prefix of length `prefixLength` with `term` and which have a fuzzy similarity > `minSimilarity`.

  After calling the constructor the enumeration is already pointing to the first valid term if such a term exists.

  Parameters:
    `terms` - Delivers terms.
    `atts` - `AttributeSource` created by the rewrite method of `MultiTermQuery` thats contains information about competitive boosts during rewrite. It is also used to cache DFAs between segment transitions.
    `term` - Pattern term.
    `minSimilarity` - Minimum required similarity for terms from the reader. Pass an integer value representing edit distance. Passing a fraction is deprecated.
    `prefixLength` - Length of required common prefix. Default value is 0.
  Throws:
    `IOException` - if there is a low-level IO error

Method Detail

### getAutomatonEnum

    protected TermsEnum getAutomatonEnum(int editDistance,
                                         BytesRef lastTerm)
                                  throws IOException

  return an automata-based enum for matching up to editDistance from lastTerm, if possible

  Throws:
    `IOException`

### setEnum

    protected void setEnum(TermsEnum actualEnum)

  swap in a new actual enum to proxy to

### maxEditDistanceChanged

    protected void maxEditDistanceChanged(BytesRef lastTerm,
                                          int maxEdits,
                                          boolean init)
                                   throws IOException

  Throws:
    `IOException`

### next

    public BytesRef next()
                  throws IOException

  Description copied from interface: `BytesRefIterator`
  Increments the iteration to the next `BytesRef` in the iterator. Returns the resulting `BytesRef` or `null` if the end of the iterator is reached. The returned BytesRef may be re-used across calls to next. After this method returns null, do not call it again: the results are undefined.

  Returns:
    the next `BytesRef` in the iterator or `null` if the end of the iterator is reached.
  Throws:
    `IOException` - If there is a low-level I/O error.

### docFreq

    public int docFreq()
                throws IOException

  Description copied from class: `TermsEnum`
  Returns the number of documents containing the current term. Do not call this when the enum is unpositioned. `TermsEnum.SeekStatus.END`.

  Specified by:
    `docFreq` in class `TermsEnum`
  Throws:
    `IOException`

### totalTermFreq

    public long totalTermFreq()
                       throws IOException

  Description copied from class: `TermsEnum`
  Returns the total number of occurrences of this term across all documents (the sum of the freq() for each doc that has this term). This will be -1 if the codec doesn't support this measure. Note that, like other term measures, this measure does not take deleted documents into account.

  Specified by:
    `totalTermFreq` in class `TermsEnum`
  Throws:
    `IOException`

### docs

    public DocsEnum docs(Bits liveDocs,
                         DocsEnum reuse,
                         int flags)
                  throws IOException

  Description copied from class: `TermsEnum`
  Get `DocsEnum` for the current term, with control over whether freqs are required. Do not call this when the enum is unpositioned. This method will not return null.

  Specified by:
    `docs` in class `TermsEnum`
  Parameters:
    `liveDocs` - unset bits are documents that should not be returned
    `reuse` - pass a prior DocsEnum for possible reuse
    `flags` - specifies which optional per-document values you require; see `DocsEnum.FLAG_FREQS`
  Throws:
    `IOException`
  See Also:
    `TermsEnum.docs(Bits, DocsEnum, int)`

### docsAndPositions

    public DocsAndPositionsEnum docsAndPositions(Bits liveDocs,
                                                 DocsAndPositionsEnum reuse,
                                                 int flags)
                                          throws IOException

  Description copied from class: `TermsEnum`
  Get `DocsAndPositionsEnum` for the current term, with control over whether offsets and payloads are required. Some codecs may be able to optimize their implementation when offsets and/or payloads are not required. Do not call this when the enum is unpositioned. This will return null if positions were not indexed.

  Specified by:
    `docsAndPositions` in class `TermsEnum`
  Parameters:
    `liveDocs` - unset bits are documents that should not be returned
    `reuse` - pass a prior DocsAndPositionsEnum for possible reuse
    `flags` - specifies which optional per-position values you require; see `DocsAndPositionsEnum.FLAG_OFFSETS` and `DocsAndPositionsEnum.FLAG_PAYLOADS`.
  Throws:
    `IOException`

### seekExact

    public void seekExact(BytesRef term,
                          TermState state)
                   throws IOException

  Description copied from class: `TermsEnum`
  Expert: Seeks a specific position by `TermState` previously obtained from `TermsEnum.termState()`. Callers should maintain the `TermState` to use this method. Low-level implementations may position the TermsEnum without re-seeking the term dictionary.

  Seeking by `TermState` should only be used iff the enum the state was obtained from and the enum the state is used for seeking are obtained from the same `IndexReader`.

  NOTE: Using this method with an incompatible `TermState` might leave this `TermsEnum` in undefined state. On a segment level `TermState` instances are compatible only iff the source and the target `TermsEnum` operate on the same field. If operating on segment level, TermState instances must not be used across segments.

  NOTE: A seek by `TermState` might not restore the `AttributeSource`'s state. `AttributeSource` states must be maintained separately if this method is used.

  Overrides:
    `seekExact` in class `TermsEnum`
  Parameters:
    `term` - the term the TermState corresponds to
    `state` - the `TermState`
  Throws:
    `IOException`

### termState

    public TermState termState()
                        throws IOException

  Description copied from class: `TermsEnum`
  Expert: Returns the TermsEnums internal state to position the TermsEnum without re-seeking the term dictionary.

  NOTE: A seek by `TermState` might not capture the `AttributeSource`'s state. Callers must maintain the `AttributeSource` states separately

  Overrides:
    `termState` in class `TermsEnum`
  Throws:
    `IOException`
  See Also:
    `TermState`, `TermsEnum.seekExact(BytesRef, TermState)`

### getComparator

    public Comparator<BytesRef> getComparator()

  Description copied from interface: `BytesRefIterator`
  Return the `BytesRef` Comparator used to sort terms provided by the iterator. This may return null if there are no items or the iterator is not sorted. Callers may invoke this method many times, so it's best to cache a single instance & reuse it.

### ord

    public long ord()
             throws IOException

  Description copied from class: `TermsEnum`
  Returns ordinal position for current term. This is an optional method (the codec may throw `UnsupportedOperationException`). Do not call this when the enum is unpositioned.

  Specified by:
    `ord` in class `TermsEnum`
  Throws:
    `IOException`

### seekExact

    public boolean seekExact(BytesRef text,
                             boolean useCache)
                      throws IOException

  Description copied from class: `TermsEnum`
  Attempts to seek to the exact term, returning true if the term is found. If this returns false, the enum is unpositioned. For some codecs, seekExact may be substantially faster than `TermsEnum.seekCeil(org.apache.lucene.util.BytesRef, boolean)`.

  Overrides:
    `seekExact` in class `TermsEnum`
  Throws:
    `IOException`

### seekCeil

    public TermsEnum.SeekStatus seekCeil(BytesRef text,
                                         boolean useCache)
                                  throws IOException

  Description copied from class: `TermsEnum`
  Expert: just like `TermsEnum.seekCeil(BytesRef)` but allows you to control whether the implementation should attempt to use its term cache (if it uses one).

  Specified by:
    `seekCeil` in class `TermsEnum`
  Throws:
    `IOException`

### seekExact

    public void seekExact(long ord)
                   throws IOException

  Description copied from class: `TermsEnum`
  Seeks to the specified term by ordinal (position) as previously returned by `TermsEnum.ord()`. The target ord may be before or after the current ord, and must be within bounds.

  Specified by:
    `seekExact` in class `TermsEnum`
  Throws:
    `IOException`

### term

    public BytesRef term()
                  throws IOException

  Description copied from class: `TermsEnum`
  Returns current term. Do not call this when the enum is unpositioned.

  Specified by:
    `term` in class `TermsEnum`
  Throws:
    `IOException`

### getMinSimilarity

    public float getMinSimilarity()

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

### getScaleFactor

    public float getScaleFactor()

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