 Returns the payload data for the current span. This is invalid until next() is called for the first time. This method must not be called more than once after each call of next().

An ordered SpanQuery does not lazy load, so if you have payloads in your index and you do not want ordered SpanNearQuerys to collect payloads, you can disable collection with a constructor option.

Detailed Description

An enumeration of span matches. Used to implement span searching. Each span represents a range of term positions within a document. Matches are enumerated in order, by increasing document number, within that by increasing start position and finally by increasing end position.

◆ doc()

virtual int32_t Lucene::Spans::doc ( )
pure virtual

Returns the document number of the current match. Initially invalid.

Implemented in Lucene::NearSpansOrdered, Lucene::NearSpansUnordered, and Lucene::TermSpans.

◆ end()

virtual int32_t Lucene::Spans::end ( )
pure virtual

Returns the end position of the current match. Initially invalid.

Implemented in Lucene::NearSpansOrdered, Lucene::NearSpansUnordered, and Lucene::TermSpans.

◆ getClassName()

virtual String Lucene::Spans::getClassName ( )
inlinevirtual

◆ getPayload()

virtual Collection< ByteArray > Lucene::Spans::getPayload ( )
pure virtual

Returns the payload data for the current span. This is invalid until next() is called for the first time. This method must not be called more than once after each call of next(). However, most payloads are loaded lazily, so if the payload data for the current position is not needed, this method may not be called at all for performance reasons. An ordered SpanQuery does not lazy load, so if you have payloads in your index and you do not want ordered SpanNearQuerys to collect payloads, you can disable collection with a constructor option.

Note that the return type is a collection, thus the ordering should not be relied upon.

Returns
a List of byte arrays containing the data of this payload, otherwise null if isPayloadAvailable is false

Implemented in Lucene::NearSpansOrdered, Lucene::NearSpansUnordered, and Lucene::TermSpans.

◆ isPayloadAvailable()

virtual bool Lucene::Spans::isPayloadAvailable ( )
pure virtual

Checks if a payload can be loaded at this position.

Payloads can only be loaded once per call to next().

Returns
true if there is a payload available at this position that can be loaded

Implemented in Lucene::NearSpansOrdered, Lucene::NearSpansUnordered, and Lucene::TermSpans.

◆ next()

virtual bool Lucene::Spans::next ( )
pure virtual

Move to the next match, returning true if any such exists.

Implemented in Lucene::NearSpansOrdered, Lucene::NearSpansUnordered, and Lucene::TermSpans.

◆ shared_from_this()

boost::shared_ptr< Spans > Lucene::Spans::shared_from_this ( )
inline

◆ skipTo()

virtual bool Lucene::Spans::skipTo ( int32_t  target)
pure virtual

Skips to the first match beyond the current, whose document number is greater than or equal to target.

Returns true if there is such a match.

Behaves as if written:

bool skipTo(int32_t target)
{
    do
    {
        if (!next())
            return false;
    }
    while (target > doc());
    return true;
}

Most implementations are considerably more efficient than that.

Implemented in Lucene::NearSpansOrdered, Lucene::NearSpansUnordered, and Lucene::TermSpans.

◆ start()

virtual int32_t Lucene::Spans::start ( )
pure virtual

Returns the start position of the current match. Initially invalid.

Implemented in Lucene::NearSpansOrdered, Lucene::NearSpansUnordered, and Lucene::TermSpans.
