                       throws IOException

Returns a FieldCache.Doubles over the values found in documents in the given field. If the field was indexed as NumericDocValuesField, it simply uses AtomicReader.getNumericDocValues(String) to read the values.

Parameters:

reader - Used to get field values.

field - Which field contains the longs.

parser - Computes double for string values. May be null if the requested field was indexed as NumericDocValuesField or DoubleField.

Throws:

IOException - If any error occurs.

getTerms

BinaryDocValues getTerms(AtomicReader reader,
                         String field,
                         boolean setDocsWithField)
                  throws IOException

Checks the internal cache for an appropriate entry, and if none is found, reads the term values in field and returns a BinaryDocValues instance, providing a method to retrieve the term (as a BytesRef) per document.

Parameters:

reader - Used to get field values.

field - Which field contains the strings.

setDocsWithField - If true then getDocsWithField(org.apache.lucene.index.AtomicReader, java.lang.String) will also be computed and stored in the FieldCache.

Returns:

The values in the given field for each document.

Throws:

IOException - If any error occurs.

getTerms

BinaryDocValues getTerms(AtomicReader reader,
                         String field,
                         boolean setDocsWithField,
                         float acceptableOverheadRatio)
                  throws IOException

Expert: just like getTerms(AtomicReader,String,boolean), but you can specify whether more RAM should be consumed in exchange for faster lookups (default is "true"). Note that the first call for a given reader and field "wins", subsequent calls will share the same cache entry.

Throws:

IOException

getTermsIndex

SortedDocValues getTermsIndex(AtomicReader reader,
                              String field)
                       throws IOException

Checks the internal cache for an appropriate entry, and if none is found, reads the term values in field and returns a SortedDocValues instance, providing methods to retrieve sort ordinals and terms (as a ByteRef) per document.

Parameters:

reader - Used to get field values.

field - Which field contains the strings.

Returns:

The values in the given field for each document.

Throws:

IOException - If any error occurs.

getTermsIndex

SortedDocValues getTermsIndex(AtomicReader reader,
                              String field,
                              float acceptableOverheadRatio)
                       throws IOException

Expert: just like getTermsIndex(AtomicReader,String), but you can specify whether more RAM should be consumed in exchange for faster lookups (default is "true"). Note that the first call for a given reader and field "wins", subsequent calls will share the same cache entry.

Throws:

IOException

getDocTermOrds

SortedSetDocValues getDocTermOrds(AtomicReader reader,
                                  String field)
                           throws IOException

Checks the internal cache for an appropriate entry, and if none is found, reads the term values in field and returns a DocTermOrds instance, providing a method to retrieve the terms (as ords) per document.

Parameters:

reader - Used to build a DocTermOrds instance

field - Which field contains the strings.

Returns:

a DocTermOrds instance

Throws:

IOException - If any error occurs.

getCacheEntries

FieldCache.CacheEntry[] getCacheEntries()

EXPERT: Generates an array of CacheEntry objects representing all items currently in the FieldCache.

NOTE: These CacheEntry objects maintain a strong reference to the Cached Values. Maintaining references to a CacheEntry the AtomicIndexReader associated with it has garbage collected will prevent the Value itself from being garbage collected when the Cache drops the WeakReference.

purgeAllCaches

void purgeAllCaches()

EXPERT: Instructs the FieldCache to forcibly expunge all entries from the underlying caches. This is intended only to be used for test methods as a way to ensure a known base state of the Cache (with out needing to rely on GC to free WeakReferences). It should not be relied on for "Cache maintenance" in general application code.

purgeByCacheKey

void purgeByCacheKey(Object coreCacheKey)

Expert: drops all cache entries associated with this reader IndexReader.getCoreCacheKey(). NOTE: this cache key must precisely match the reader that the cache entry is keyed on. If you pass a top-level reader, it usually will have no effect as Lucene now caches at the segment reader level.

setInfoStream

void setInfoStream(PrintStream stream)

If non-null, FieldCacheImpl will warn whenever entries are created that are not sane according to FieldCacheSanityChecker.

getInfoStream

PrintStream getInfoStream()

counterpart of setInfoStream(PrintStream)
