Class DefaultDocValuesFormatFactory

Implements the default functionality of IDocValuesFormatFactory.

To replace the DefaultDocValuesFormatFactory instance, call SetDocValuesFormatFactory(IDocValuesFormatFactory) at application start up. DefaultDocValuesFormatFactory can be subclassed or passed additional parameters to register additional codecs, inject dependencies, or change caching behavior, as shown in the following examples. Alternatively, IDocValuesFormatFactory can be implemented to provide complete control over doc values format creation and lifetimes.

Register Additional DocValuesFormats

Additional codecs can be added by initializing the instance of DefaultDocValuesFormatFactory and passing an array of DocValuesFormat-derived types. 
// Register the factory at application start up.
DocValuesFormat.SetDocValuesFormatFactory(new DefaultDocValuesFormatFactory {
    CustomDocValuesFormatTypes = new Type[] { typeof(MyDocValuesFormat), typeof(AnotherDocValuesFormat) }
});

Only Use Explicitly Defined DocValuesFormats

PutDocValuesFormatType(Type) can be used to explicitly add codec types. In this example, the call to base.Initialize() is excluded to skip the built-in codec registration. Since AnotherDocValuesFormat doesn't have a default constructor, the NewDocValuesFormat(Type) method is overridden to supply the required parameters. 
public class ExplicitDocValuesFormatFactory : DefaultDocValuesFormatFactory
{
    protected override void Initialize()
    {
        // Load specific codecs in a specific order.
        PutDocValuesFormatType(typeof(MyDocValuesFormat));
        PutDocValuesFormatType(typeof(AnotherDocValuesFormat));
    }

protected override DocValuesFormat NewDocValuesFormat(Type type)
{
    // Special case: AnotherDocValuesFormat has a required dependency
    if (typeof(AnotherDocValuesFormat).Equals(type))
        return new AnotherDocValuesFormat(new SomeDependency());

    return base.NewDocValuesFormat(type);
}



}


// Register the factory at application start up.
DocValuesFormat.SetDocValuesFormatFactory(new ExplicitDocValuesFormatFactory());
See the Lucene.Net.Codecs namespace documentation for more examples of how to inject dependencies into DocValuesFormat subclasses.

Use Reflection to Scan an Assembly for DocValuesFormats

ScanForDocValuesFormats(Assembly) or ScanForDocValuesFormats(IEnumerable<Assembly>) can be used to scan assemblies using .NET Reflection for codec types and add all subclasses that are found automatically. 
public class ScanningDocValuesFormatFactory : DefaultDocValuesFormatFactory
{
    protected override void Initialize()
    {
        // Load all default codecs
        base.Initialize();

    // Load all of the codecs inside of the same assembly that MyDocValuesFormat is defined in
    ScanForDocValuesFormats(typeof(MyDocValuesFormat).Assembly);
}



}


// Register the factory at application start up.
DocValuesFormat.SetDocValuesFormatFactory(new ScanningDocValuesFormatFactory());
Doc values formats in the target assembly can be excluded from the scan by decorating them with the ExcludeDocValuesFormatFromScanAttribute.

Constructors

DefaultDocValuesFormatFactory()

Creates a new instance of DefaultDocValuesFormatFactory.

Declaration
public DefaultDocValuesFormatFactory()
See Also

Properties

AvailableServices

Gets a list of the available DocValuesFormats (by name).

Declaration
public virtual ICollection<string> AvailableServices { get; }
Property Value
Type Description
ICollection<string>

A ICollection{string} of DocValuesFormat names.
See Also

CustomDocValuesFormatTypes

An array of custom DocValuesFormat-derived types to be registered. This property can be initialized during construction of DefaultDocValuesFormatFactory to make your custom codecs known to Lucene.

These types will be registered after the default Lucene types, so if a custom type has the same name as a Lucene DocValuesFormat (via DocValuesFormatNameAttribute) the custom type will replace the Lucene type with the same name.
Declaration
public IEnumerable<Type> CustomDocValuesFormatTypes { get; set; }
Property Value
Type Description
IEnumerable<Type>

Methods

GetDocValuesFormat(string)

Gets the DocValuesFormat instance from the provided name.

Declaration
public virtual DocValuesFormat GetDocValuesFormat(string name)
Parameters
Type Name Description
string name

The name of the DocValuesFormat instance to retrieve.
Returns
Type Description
DocValuesFormat

The DocValuesFormat instance.
See Also

GetDocValuesFormat(Type)

Gets the DocValuesFormat instance from the provided type.

Declaration
protected virtual DocValuesFormat GetDocValuesFormat(Type type)
Parameters
Type Name Description
Type type

The Type of DocValuesFormat to retrieve.
Returns
Type Description
DocValuesFormat

The DocValuesFormat instance.
See Also

GetDocValuesFormatType(string)

Gets the DocValuesFormatType from the provided name.

Declaration
protected virtual Type GetDocValuesFormatType(string name)
Parameters
Type Name Description
string name

The name of the DocValuesFormatType to retrieve.
Returns
Type Description
Type

The DocValuesFormatType.
See Also

Initialize()

Initializes the doc values type cache with the known DocValuesFormat types. Override this method (and optionally call base.Initialize()) to add your own DocValuesFormat types by calling PutDocValuesFormatType(Type) or ScanForDocValuesFormats(Assembly).

If two types have the same name by using the DocValuesFormatNameAttribute, the last one registered wins.
Declaration
protected override void Initialize()
Overrides
See Also

NewDocValuesFormat(Type)

Instantiates a DocValuesFormat based on the provided type.

Declaration
protected virtual DocValuesFormat NewDocValuesFormat(Type type)
Parameters
Type Name Description
Type type

The Type of DocValuesFormat to instantiate.
Returns
Type Description
DocValuesFormat

The new instance.
See Also

PutDocValuesFormatType(Type)

Adds a DocValuesFormat type to the docValuesFormatNameToTypeMap, using the name provided in the DocValuesFormatNameAttribute, if present, or the name of the codec class minus the "DocValuesFormat" suffix as the name by default.

Note that if a DocValuesFormat with the same name already exists in the map, calling this method will update it to the new type.
Declaration
protected virtual void PutDocValuesFormatType(Type docValuesFormat)
Parameters
Type Name Description
Type docValuesFormat

A type that subclasses DocValuesFormat.
See Also

ScanForDocValuesFormats(IEnumerable<Assembly>)

Scans the given assemblies for subclasses of Codec and adds their names to the docValuesFormatNameToTypeMap. Note that names will be automatically overridden if the DocValuesFormat name appears multiple times - the last match wins.

Declaration
protected virtual void ScanForDocValuesFormats(IEnumerable<Assembly> assemblies)
Parameters
Type Name Description
IEnumerable<Assembly> assemblies

A list of assemblies to scan. The assemblies will be scanned from first to last, and the last match for each DocValuesFormat name wins.
See Also

ScanForDocValuesFormats(Assembly)

Scans the given assembly for subclasses of DocValuesFormat and adds their names to the docValuesFormatNameToTypeMap. Note that names will be automatically overridden if the DocValuesFormat name appears multiple times - the last match wins.

Declaration
protected virtual void ScanForDocValuesFormats(Assembly assembly)
Parameters
Type Name Description
Assembly assembly

The assembly to scan.
