Method Detail

getId

public int getId()

Description copied from interface: Posting

Return the id of the current posting. For the inverted index, this is the docid; for the direct index it corresponds to the term id

Returns:

id of the posting

getFrequency

public int getFrequency()

Description copied from interface: Posting

Return the frequency of the term in the current document

Returns:

frequency of posting, in tokens

getDocumentLength

public int getDocumentLength()

Description copied from interface: Posting

Return the length of the document for this posting. Usually uses the DocumentIndex, may do otherwise if document length statistics are in posting list

Returns:

length of the document of the current posting in tokens.

setId

public void setId(int id)

Description copied from interface: Posting

It may be of benefit to update the frequency of the id in some applications. This should not be used lightly, as it may break the decompression of other postings in iterators.

next

public int next()
         throws IOException

Description copied from interface: IterablePosting

Move this iterator to the next posting.

Returns:

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

Throws:

IOException

calculateFrequency

protected boolean calculateFrequency()

returns true if the document matches

endOfPostings

public boolean endOfPostings()

Description copied from interface: IterablePosting

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

Returns:

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

close

public void close()
           throws IOException

Throws:

IOException

asWritablePosting

public WritablePosting asWritablePosting()

Description copied from interface: Posting

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

Returns:

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