Method Detail

addDocument

public FilePosition addDocument(int[][] terms)

This overloaded method uses the int[][] arrays, in the same format produced by the DirectIndex getTerms() method.

Parameters:

terms - int[][] the array that contains the document's terms to index.

Returns:

FilePosition the offset in the direct index after adding the terms.

Throws:

java.io.IOException

finishedCollections

public void finishedCollections()

When the indexing has reached the end of all collections, this method writes the buffers on disk and closes the corresponding files.

flushBuffer

public void flushBuffer()

Deprecated. since 2.0

Flushes the data to disk.

getLastEndOffset

public FilePosition getLastEndOffset()

Returns the current offset in the direct index.

Returns:

FilePosition the offset in the direct index.

resetBuffer

public void resetBuffer()

Resets the internal buffer for writing data. This method should be called before adding any documents to the direct index.

close

public void close()
           throws java.io.IOException

Closes the underlying gamma compressed file.

Throws:

java.io.IOException
