Class Outputs<T>

java.lang.Object

org.apache.lucene.util.fst.Outputs<T>

Direct Known Subclasses:

ByteSequenceOutputs, CharSequenceOutputs, IntSequenceOutputs, NoOutputs, PairOutputs, PositiveIntOutputs

public abstract class Outputs<T>
extends Object

Represents the outputs for an FST, providing the basic algebra required for building and traversing the FST.

Note that any operation that returns NO_OUTPUT must return the same singleton object from getNoOutput().

Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method	Description
abstract T	add(T prefix, T output)	Eg add("foo", "bar") -> "foobar"
abstract T	common(T output1, T output2)	Eg common("foobar", "food") -> "foo"
abstract T	getNoOutput()	NOTE: this output is compared with == so you must ensure that all methods return the single object if it's really no output
T	merge(T first, T second)
abstract String	outputToString(T output)
abstract T	read(DataInput in)	Decode an output value previously written with write(Object, DataOutput).
T	readFinalOutput(DataInput in)	Decode an output value previously written with writeFinalOutput(Object, DataOutput).
abstract T	subtract(T output, T inc)	Eg subtract("foobar", "foo") -> "bar"
abstract void	write(T output, DataOutput out)	Encode an output value into a DataOutput.
void	writeFinalOutput(T output, DataOutput out)	Encode an final node output value into a DataOutput.

Method Details

common

public abstract T common(T output1,
 T output2)

Eg common("foobar", "food") -> "foo"

subtract

public abstract T subtract(T output,
 T inc)

Eg subtract("foobar", "foo") -> "bar"

add

public abstract T add(T prefix,
 T output)

Eg add("foo", "bar") -> "foobar"

write

public abstract void write(T output,
 DataOutput out)
                    throws IOException

Encode an output value into a DataOutput.

Throws:

IOException

writeFinalOutput

public void writeFinalOutput(T output,
 DataOutput out)
                      throws IOException

Encode an final node output value into a DataOutput. By default this just calls write(Object, DataOutput).

Throws:

IOException

read

public abstract T read(DataInput in)
                throws IOException

Decode an output value previously written with write(Object, DataOutput).

Throws:

IOException

readFinalOutput

public T readFinalOutput(DataInput in)
                  throws IOException

Decode an output value previously written with writeFinalOutput(Object, DataOutput). By default this just calls read(DataInput).

Throws:

IOException

getNoOutput

public abstract T getNoOutput()

NOTE: this output is compared with == so you must ensure that all methods return the single object if it's really no output

outputToString

public abstract String outputToString(T output)

merge

public T merge(T first,
 T second)
