Class PostingsConsumer

Abstract API that consumes postings for an individual term.

The lifecycle is:

  1. PostingsConsumer is returned for each term by StartTerm(BytesRef).
  2. StartDoc(Int32, Int32) is called for each document where the term occurs, specifying id and term frequency for that document.
  3. If positions are enabled for the field, then AddPosition(Int32, BytesRef, Int32, Int32) will be called for each occurrence in the document.
  4. FinishDoc() is called when the producer is done adding positions to the document.

AddPosition(Int32, BytesRef, Int32, Int32)

Add a new position & payload, and start/end offset. A null payload means no payload; a non-null payload with zero length also means no payload. Caller may reuse the BytesRef for the payload between calls (method must fully consume the payload). startOffset and endOffset will be -1 when offsets are not indexed.

Declaration
public abstract void AddPosition(int position, BytesRef payload, int startOffset, int endOffset)
Parameters
Type Name Description
System.Int32 position
BytesRef payload
System.Int32 startOffset
System.Int32 endOffset

FinishDoc()

Called when we are done adding positions & payloads for each doc.

Declaration
public virtual TermStats Merge(MergeState mergeState, IndexOptions indexOptions, DocsEnum postings, FixedBitSet visitedDocs)
Parameters
Type Name Description
MergeState mergeState
IndexOptions indexOptions
DocsEnum postings
FixedBitSet visitedDocs
Returns

StartDoc(Int32, Int32)

Adds a new doc in this term. freq will be -1 when term frequencies are omitted for the field.

Declaration
public abstract void StartDoc(int docId, int freq)
Parameters
Type Name Description
System.Int32 docId
System.Int32 freq
