Class IncrementalIndex

java.lang.Object

org.terrier.structures.Index

org.terrier.realtime.multi.MultiIndex

org.terrier.realtime.incremental.IncrementalIndex

All Implemented Interfaces:

Closeable, Flushable, AutoCloseable, UpdatableIndex

public class IncrementalIndex
extends MultiIndex
implements UpdatableIndex

This is the main Index class for an incremental index. An incremental index is a MultiIndex where one index shard is stored in memory and the rest are stored on disk. Periodically, the memory index is then written do disk, defined as per a FlushPolicy. When the memory index has been flushed to disk, optionally the on-disk portion of the incremental index can then be merged together (based upon a MergePolicy) and/or deleted (based upon a DeletePolicy).

Properties

• incremental.flush: the flush policy to use. Four possible values are supported: noflush (default), flushdocs, flushmem, flushtime

• incremental.merge: the merge policy to use. Three possible values are supported: nomerge (default), single, geometric

• incremental.delete: the delete policy to use. Two possible values are supported: nodelete (default), deleteFixedSize

Since:

4.0
