Class CollectionResultSet

java.lang.Object
  uk.ac.gla.terrier.matching.CollectionResultSet

All Implemented Interfaces:

java.io.Serializable, ResultSet

Direct Known Subclasses:

QueryResultSet

public class CollectionResultSet
extends java.lang.Object
implements ResultSet, java.io.Serializable

This class implements the interface ResultSet and models the set of all documents in the collection. It encapsulates two arrays, one for the docids and one for the scores. It has also the occurrences matrix which counts how many query terms appear in each of the retrieved documents. The metadata related methods are empty.
This class is only used internally by the Matching class and the classes that extent it, because the arrays for the docids and scores contain one entry for each document in the collection. Therefore, the instantiation of an object of this class can be expensive. Access to the retrieved documents is enabled by using the method GetResultSet that returns a cropped result set.

Constructor Detail

CollectionResultSet

public CollectionResultSet()

Deprecated. This constructor must not be used anymore. Use constructors specifying the number of documents in the collection.

A default constructor for the result set

CollectionResultSet

public CollectionResultSet(int numberOfDocuments)

A default constructor for the result set with a given number of documents.

Parameters:

numberOfDocuments - the number of documents contained in the result set.

CollectionResultSet

public CollectionResultSet(ResultSet resultSet)

A default constructor for the result set with a given instance of the result set. The constructor creates a clone of the given result set.

Parameters:

resultSet - The given result set.

Method Detail

getLock

public java.util.concurrent.locks.Lock getLock()

Returns the lock for enabling the modification of the result set by more than one threads.

Specified by:

getLock in interface ResultSet

Returns:

the lock.

getStatusCode

public int getStatusCode()

Returns the status code for the current result set.

Specified by:

getStatusCode in interface ResultSet

Returns:

a integer status code. 0 stands success. 1 stands for empty result set. 2 stands for wrong setting of start/end parameters. 3 stands for query timeout. The values assigned to the status codes are increasing accordingly to the severity of the status.

setStatusCode

public void setStatusCode(int _statusCode)

Sets the status code for the current result set.

Specified by:

setStatusCode in interface ResultSet

getDocids

public int[] getDocids()

Returns the documents ids after retrieval

Specified by:

getDocids in interface ResultSet

getResultSize

public int getResultSize()

Returns the effective size of the result set.

Specified by:

getResultSize in interface ResultSet

Returns:

int the effective size of the result set

getOccurrences

public short[] getOccurrences()

Returns the occurrences array.

Specified by:

getOccurrences in interface ResultSet

Returns:

int[] the array the occurrences array.

getExactResultSize

public int getExactResultSize()

Returns the exact size of the result set.

Specified by:

getExactResultSize in interface ResultSet

Returns:

int the exact size of the result set

getScores

public double[] getScores()

Returns the documents scores after retrieval

Specified by:

getScores in interface ResultSet

initialise

public void initialise()

Initialises the arrays prior of retrieval.

Specified by:

initialise in interface ResultSet

initialise

public void initialise(double[] scs)

Initialises the result set with the given scores. If the length of the given array is different than the length of the internal arrays, then we re-allocate memory and create the arrays.

Specified by:

initialise in interface ResultSet

Parameters:

scs - double[] the scores to initiliase the result set with.

setResultSize

public void setResultSize(int newResultSize)

Sets the effective size of the result set, that is the number of documents to be sorted after retrieval.

Specified by:

setResultSize in interface ResultSet

Parameters:

newResultSize - int the effective size of the result set.

setExactResultSize

public void setExactResultSize(int newExactResultSize)

Sets the exact size of the result set, that is the number of documents that would be retrieved, if the result set was not truncated.

Specified by:

setExactResultSize in interface ResultSet

Parameters:

newExactResultSize - int the effective size of the result set.
