public DocumentIndexOutputStream(java.lang.String path,
                                 java.lang.String prefix)

Method Detail

addEntry

public void addEntry(java.lang.String docno,
                     int docLength,
                     FilePosition directIndexOffset)
              throws java.io.IOException

Adds to the index a new entry, giving to it the next available document id. The entry is writen first to the buffer, which afterwards has to be flushed to the file on disk.

Parameters:

docno - String the document number.

docLength - int the number of indexed tokens in the document.

directIndexOffset - FilePosition the ending position of the document's entry in the direct index.

Throws:

java.io.IOException - Throws an exception in the case of an IO error.

addEntry

public void addEntry(java.lang.String docno,
                     int docLength,
                     long directIndexOffsetBytes,
                     byte directIndexOffsetBits)
              throws java.io.IOException

Adds to the index a new entry, giving to it the next available document id. The entry is writen first to the buffer, which afterwards has to be flushed to the file on disk.

Parameters:

docno - String the document number.

docLength - int the number of indexed tokens in the document.

directIndexOffsetBytes - long the ending bytes position of the document's entry in the direct index.

directIndexOffsetBits - byte the ending bits position of the document's entry in the direct index.

Throws:

java.io.IOException - Throws an exception in the case of an IO error.

addEntry

public void addEntry(java.lang.String docno,
                     int docid,
                     int docLength,
                     long directIndexOffsetBytes,
                     byte directIndexOffsetBits)
              throws java.io.IOException

As above, but for use when the docid is already known. Do not MIX this and other addEntry() calls

Throws:

java.io.IOException

close

public void close()
