Method Detail

writeNextEntry

public int writeNextEntry(java.lang.String term,
                          int termId,
                          int documentFrequency,
                          int termFrequency,
                          int blockFrequency,
                          long endOffset,
                          byte endBitOffset)
                   throws java.io.IOException

Write a lexicon entry.

Overrides:

writeNextEntry in class BlockLexiconOutputStream

Parameters:

term - the string representation of the term

termId - the terms integer identifier

documentFrequency - the term's document frequency in the collection

termFrequency - the term's frequency in the collection

endOffset - the term's ending byte offset in the inverted file

endBitOffset - the term's ending byte bit-offset in the inverted file

Returns:

the number of bytes written if there is no error, otherwise returns -1 in case of EOF

Throws:

java.io.IOException - if an I/O error occurs

writeNextEntry

public int writeNextEntry(byte[] term,
                          int termId,
                          int documentFrequency,
                          int termFrequency,
                          int blockFrequency,
                          long endOffset,
                          byte endBitOffset)
                   throws java.io.IOException

Write a lexicon entry.

Overrides:

writeNextEntry in class BlockLexiconOutputStream

Parameters:

term - the byte array representation of the term

termId - the terms integer identifier

documentFrequency - the term's document frequency in the collection

termFrequency - the term's frequency in the collection

endOffset - the term's ending byte offset in the inverted file

endBitOffset - the term's ending byte bit-offset in the inverted file

blockFrequency - the term's frequency in the collection

Returns:

the number of bytes written if there is no error, otherwise returns -1 in case of EOF

Throws:

java.io.IOException - if an I/O error occurs

setBF

public void setBF(int blockFrequency)

Sets the block frequency for the given term

Overrides:

setBF in class BlockLexiconOutputStream

Parameters:

blockFrequency - The new block frequency
