public final class Lucene46FieldInfosFormat extends FieldInfosFormat
Lucene 4.6 Field Infos format.

Field names are stored in the field info file, with suffix .fnm.

Data types:

Field Descriptions:
  • FieldsCount: the number of fields in this file.
  • FieldName: name of the field as a UTF-8 String.
  • FieldNumber: the field's number. Note that unlike previous versions of Lucene, the fields are not numbered implicitly by their order in the file, instead explicitly.
  • FieldBits: a byte containing field options.
    • The low-order bit is one for indexed fields, and zero for non-indexed fields.
    • The second lowest-order bit is one for fields that have term vectors stored, and zero for fields without term vectors.
    • If the third lowest order-bit is set (0x4), offsets are stored into the postings list in addition to positions.
    • Fourth bit is unused.
    • If the fifth lowest-order bit is set (0x10), norms are omitted for the indexed field.
    • If the sixth lowest-order bit is set (0x20), payloads are stored for the indexed field.
    • If the seventh lowest-order bit is set (0x40), term frequencies and positions omitted for the indexed field.
    • If the eighth lowest-order bit is set (0x80), positions are omitted for the indexed field.
  • DocValuesBits: a byte containing per-document value types. The type recorded as two four-bit integers, with the high-order bits representing norms options, and the low-order bits representing DocValues options. Each four-bit integer can be decoded as such:
    • 0: no DocValues for this field.
    • 1: NumericDocValues. (FieldInfo.DocValuesType.NUMERIC)
    • 2: BinaryDocValues. (DocValuesType#BINARY)
    • 3: SortedDocValues. (DocValuesType#SORTED)
  • DocValuesGen is the generation count of the field's DocValues. If this is -1, there are no DocValues updates to that field. Anything above zero means there are updates stored by DocValuesFormat.
  • Attributes: a key-value map of codec-private attributes.
