Constructor Detail

BlockIterablePosting

public BlockIterablePosting()

Constructs an instance of the BlockIterablePosting.

BlockIterablePosting

public BlockIterablePosting(BitIn _bitFileReader,
                            int _numEntries,
                            DocumentIndex doi)
                     throws IOException

Constructs an instance of the BlockIterablePosting.

Parameters:

_bitFileReader -

_numEntries -

doi -

Throws:

IOException

Method Detail

next

public int next()
         throws IOException

Move this iterator to the next posting.

Specified by:

next in interface IterablePosting

Overrides:

next in class BasicIterablePosting

Returns:

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

Throws:

IOException

getPositions

public int[] getPositions()

Return positions of occurrences

Specified by:

getPositions in interface BlockPosting

readFields

public void readFields(DataInput in)
                throws IOException

Description copied from class: BasicPostingImpl

Reads the a single posting (not an iterable posting - use BitPostingIndex for that)

Specified by:

readFields in interface org.apache.hadoop.io.Writable

Overrides:

readFields in class BasicPostingImpl

Throws:

IOException

write

public void write(DataOutput out)
           throws IOException

Description copied from class: BasicPostingImpl

Writes the current posting (not an iterable posting - use DirectInvertedOutputStream for that). Compression using this method is not expected to be comparable to bit-level compression.

Specified by:

write in interface org.apache.hadoop.io.Writable

Overrides:

write in class BasicPostingImpl

Throws:

IOException

asWritablePosting

public WritablePosting asWritablePosting()

Description copied from class: BasicIterablePosting

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

Specified by:

asWritablePosting in interface Posting

Overrides:

asWritablePosting in class BasicIterablePosting

Returns:

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

toString

public String toString()

Description copied from class: BasicPostingImpl

Makes a human readable form of this posting

Overrides:

toString in class BasicPostingImpl
