Class ValueSourceQuery

java.lang.Object

org.apache.lucene.search.Query

org.apache.lucene.search.function.ValueSourceQuery

All Implemented Interfaces:

java.io.Serializable, java.lang.Cloneable

Direct Known Subclasses:

FieldScoreQuery

public class ValueSourceQuery
extends Query

Expert: A Query that sets the scores of document to the values obtained from a ValueSource.

The value source can be based on a (cached) value of an indexd field, but it can also be based on an external source, e.g. values read from an external database.

Score is set as: Score(doc,query) = query.getBoost()² * valueSource(doc).

WARNING: The status of the search.function package is experimental. The APIs introduced here might change in the future and will not be supported anymore in such a case.

Constructor Detail

ValueSourceQuery

public ValueSourceQuery(ValueSource valSrc)

Create a value source query

Parameters:

valSrc - provides the values defines the function to be used for scoring

Method Detail

rewrite

public Query rewrite(IndexReader reader)
              throws java.io.IOException

Description copied from class: Query

Expert: called to re-write queries into primitive queries. For example, a PrefixQuery will be rewritten into a BooleanQuery that consists of TermQuerys.

Overrides:

rewrite in class Query

Throws:

java.io.IOException

extractTerms

public void extractTerms(java.util.Set terms)

Description copied from class: Query

Expert: adds all terms occuring in this query to the terms set. Only works if this query is in its rewritten form.

Overrides:

extractTerms in class Query

toString

public java.lang.String toString(java.lang.String field)

Description copied from class: Query

Prints a query to a string, with field assumed to be the default field and omitted.

The representation used is one that is supposed to be readable by QueryParser. However, there are the following limitations:

• If the query was created by the parser, the printed representation may not be exactly what was parsed. For example, characters that need to be escaped will be represented without the required backslash.
• Some of the more complicated queries (e.g. span queries) don't have a representation that can be parsed by QueryParser.

Specified by:

toString in class Query

equals

public boolean equals(java.lang.Object o)

Returns true if o is equal to this.

Overrides:

equals in class java.lang.Object

hashCode

public int hashCode()

Returns a hash code value for this object.

Overrides:

hashCode in class java.lang.Object
