Class PersistentSnapshotDeletionPolicy

A SnapshotDeletionPolicy which adds a persistence layer so that snapshots can be maintained across the life of an application. The snapshots are persisted in a Directory and are committed as soon as Snapshot() or Release(IndexCommit) is called.

NOTE: Sharing PersistentSnapshotDeletionPolicys that write to the same directory across IndexWriters will corrupt snapshots. You should make sure every IndexWriter has its own PersistentSnapshotDeletionPolicy and that they all write to a different Directory. It is OK to use the same Directory that holds the index.

This class adds a Release(Int64) method to release commits from a previous snapshot's Generation.

PersistentSnapshotDeletionPolicy(IndexDeletionPolicy, Directory)

PersistentSnapshotDeletionPolicy wraps another IndexDeletionPolicy to enable flexible snapshotting, passing CREATE_OR_APPEND by default.

Declaration
public PersistentSnapshotDeletionPolicy(IndexDeletionPolicy primary, Directory dir)
Parameters
Type Name Description
IndexDeletionPolicy primary

the IndexDeletionPolicy that is used on non-snapshotted commits. Snapshotted commits, by definition, are not deleted until explicitly released via Release(IndexCommit).

Directory dir

the Directory which will be used to persist the snapshots information.

PersistentSnapshotDeletionPolicy(IndexDeletionPolicy, Directory, OpenMode)

PersistentSnapshotDeletionPolicy wraps another IndexDeletionPolicy to enable flexible snapshotting.

Declaration
public PersistentSnapshotDeletionPolicy(IndexDeletionPolicy primary, Directory dir, OpenMode mode)

Directory dir

the Directory which will be used to persist the snapshots information.

OpenMode mode

specifies whether a new index should be created, deleting all existing snapshots information (immediately), or open an existing index, initializing the class with the snapshots information.
