Constructor Detail

BasicIterablePosting

protected BasicIterablePosting()

Create a new posting iterator

BasicIterablePosting

public BasicIterablePosting(BitIn _bitFileReader,
                            int _numEntries,
                            DocumentIndex _doi)
                     throws java.io.IOException

Create a new posting iterator

Parameters:

_bitFileReader - BitIn to read the postings from

_numEntries - number of postings in the list

_doi - document index to use to satisfy getDocumentLength()

Throws:

java.io.IOException - thrown in an IO exception occurs

Method Detail

next

public int next()
         throws java.io.IOException

Move this iterator to the next posting.

Specified by:

next in interface IterablePosting

Returns:

id of next posting, or EOL if end of posting list

Throws:

java.io.IOException

next

public int next(int target)
         throws java.io.IOException

Move this iterator to the posting with specified id, or next posting after that. This is usually implemented internally by next(), but more efficient implementations can override this behaviour. This implementation of next(int) which uses next()

Specified by:

next in interface IterablePosting

Parameters:

target - id of the posting to find in this postingn list.

Returns:

id of the posting found, or EOL if end of posting list.

Throws:

java.io.IOException

endOfPostings

public boolean endOfPostings()

Status method to see if this posting list iterator has been finished

Specified by:

endOfPostings in interface IterablePosting

Returns:

true if next() or next(int) would return EOL or have returned EOL.

getDocumentLength

public int getDocumentLength()

Returns 0

Specified by:

getDocumentLength in interface Posting

Overrides:

getDocumentLength in class BasicPostingImpl

Returns:

length of the document of the current posting in tokens.

close

public void close()
           throws java.io.IOException

Specified by:

close in interface java.io.Closeable

Throws:

java.io.IOException

asWritablePosting

public WritablePosting asWritablePosting()

Copies this posting to one free of an iterator. Kind of like a clone.

Specified by:

asWritablePosting in interface Posting

Overrides:

asWritablePosting in class BasicPostingImpl

Returns:

an identical posting, but which can be maniulated free of this iterator
