Method Detail

getCursor

CloseableIterator<? extends IndexEntry> getCursor()

Returns an Iterator over all IndexEntry's defined by this index. Only makes sense if this is not a 'sub definition'.

getSubCursor

CloseableIterator<? extends IndexEntry> getSubCursor(String key)

Returns an Iterator over all IndexEntry's defined by this index, restricted by a certain identifier. For a 'top' level index definition, this should normally return only one Entry, and the key must be the identifier of this entry. For 'nested' IndexDefinitions, the key most be the key of the parent.

getAnalyzer

org.apache.lucene.analysis.Analyzer getAnalyzer()

Per index a an Analyzer can be defined.

getNode

Node getNode(Cloud cloud,
             org.apache.lucene.document.Document doc)

Defines how a Node for this index must be produced. For MMBase indices this is of course quite straight-forward, but other indices may create virtual nodes here.

inIndex

boolean inIndex(String number)

Whether the object with given key would be included in this index

getId

String getId()

setId

void setId(String i)
