Class TopDocCollector

java.lang.Object
  org.apache.lucene.search.HitCollector
      org.apache.lucene.search.TopDocCollector

Direct Known Subclasses:

TopFieldDocCollector

public class TopDocCollector
extends HitCollector

A HitCollector implementation that collects the top-scoring documents, returning them as a TopDocs. This is used by IndexSearcher to implement TopDocs-based search.

This may be extended, overriding the collect method to, e.g., conditionally invoke super() in order to filter which documents are collected.

Constructor Summary

TopDocCollector(int numHits)
Construct to collect a given number of hits.

Method Summary

void	collect(int doc, float score) Called once for every document matching a query, with the document number and its raw score.
int	getTotalHits() The total number of documents that matched this query.
TopDocs	topDocs() The top-scoring hits.

Construct to collect a given number of hits.

Parameters:

numHits - the maximum number of hits to collect

Method Detail

collect

public void collect(int doc,
                    float score)

Description copied from class: HitCollector

Called once for every document matching a query, with the document number and its raw score.

If, for example, an application wished to collect all of the hits for a query in a BitSet, then it might:

   Searcher searcher = new IndexSearcher(indexReader);
   final BitSet bits = new BitSet(indexReader.maxDoc());
   searcher.search(query, new HitCollector() {
       public void collect(int doc, float score) {
         bits.set(doc);
       }
     });
 

Note: This is called in an inner search loop. For good search performance, implementations of this method should not call Searcher.doc(int) or IndexReader.document(int) on every document number encountered. Doing so can slow searches by an order of magnitude or more.

Note: The score passed to this method is a raw score. In other words, the score will not necessarily be a float whose value is between 0 and 1.

getTotalHits

public int getTotalHits()

The total number of documents that matched this query.

topDocs

public TopDocs topDocs()

The top-scoring hits.
