Class IndexOutput

Abstract base class for output to a file in a Directory. A random-access output stream. Used for all Lucene index output operations.

IndexOutput may only be used from one thread, because it is not thread safe (it keeps internal state like file position).

Checksum

Returns the current checksum of bytes written so far

Declaration

Property Value
Type Description
System.Int64

Length

Gets or Sets the file length. By default, this property's setter does nothing (it's optional for a Directory to implement it). But, certain Directory implementations (for example FSDirectory) can use this to inform the underlying IO system to pre-allocate the file to the specified size. If the length is longer than the current file length, the bytes added to the file are undefined. Otherwise the file is truncated.

Declaration
public virtual long Length { get; set; }
Property Value
Type Description
System.Int64
