Note that for simple usage, {@link NumericField} is recommended. {@link NumericField} disables norms and term freqs, as they are not usually needed during searching. If you need to change these settings, you should use this class.

See {@link NumericField} for capabilities of fields indexed numerically.

Here's an example usage, for an

CopyC#

int

             Field field = new Field(name, new NumericTokenStream(precisionStep).setIntValue(value));
             field.setOmitNorms(true);
             field.setOmitTermFreqAndPositions(true);
             document.add(field);
            

For optimal performance, re-use the TokenStream and Field instance for more than one document:

             NumericTokenStream stream = new NumericTokenStream(precisionStep);
             Field field = new Field(name, stream);
             field.setOmitNorms(true);
             field.setOmitTermFreqAndPositions(true);
             Document document = new Document();
             document.add(field);
            
             for(all documents) {
               stream.setIntValue(value)
               writer.addDocument(document);
             }
            

This stream is not intended to be used in analyzers; it's more for iterating the different precisions during indexing a specific numeric value.

NOTE: as token streams are only consumed once the document is added to the index, if you index more than one numeric field, use a separate

CopyC#

NumericTokenStream
