CollectionResultSet (Terrier Information Retrieval Platform 5.1 API)

java.lang.Object
- org.terrier.matching.CollectionResultSet

All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable, ResultSet

Direct Known Subclasses:

QueryResultSet
```
public class CollectionResultSet
extends Object
implements ResultSet, Serializable
```
This class implements the interface ResultSet and models the set of all documents in the collection. It encapsulates two arrays, one for the docids and one for the scores. It has also the occurrences matrix which counts how many query terms appear in each of the retrieved documents. The metadata related methods are empty.
This class is only used internally by the Matching class and the classes that extent it, because the arrays for the docids and scores contain one entry for each document in the collection. Therefore, the instantiation of an object of this class can be expensive. Access to the retrieved documents is enabled by using the method GetResultSet that returns a cropped result set.

```
protected int[] docids
```
