#include "LCSort.h" #include "GNUstep.h" /** * Encapsulates sort criteria for returned hits. * *

The fields used to determine sort order must be carefully chosen. * Documents must contain a single term in such a field, * and the value of the term should indicate the document's relative position in * a given sort order. The field must be indexed, but should not be tokenized, * and does not need to be stored (unless you happen to want it back with the * rest of your document data). In other words: * *

document.add (new Field ("byNumber", Integer.toString(x), Field.Store.NO, Field.Index.UN_TOKENIZED));

* * *

Valid Types of Values

* *

There are three possible kinds of term values which may be put into * sorting fields: Integers, Floats, or Strings. Unless * {@link SortField SortField} objects are specified, the type of value * in the field is determined by parsing the first term in the field. * *

Integer term values should contain only digits and an optional * preceeding negative sign. Values must be base 10 and in the range * Integer.MIN_VALUE and Integer.MAX_VALUE inclusive. * Documents which should appear first in the sort * should have low value integers, later documents high values * (i.e. the documents should be numbered 1..n where * 1 is the first and n the last). * *

Float term values should conform to values accepted by * {@link Float Float.valueOf(String)} (except that NaN * and Infinity are not supported). * Documents which should appear first in the sort * should have low values, later documents high values. * *

String term values can contain any valid String, but should * not be tokenized. The values are sorted according to their * {@link Comparable natural order}. Note that using this type * of term value has higher memory requirements than the other * two types. * *

Object Reuse

* *

One of these objects can be * used multiple times and the sort order changed between usages. * *

This class is thread safe. * *

Memory Usage

* *

Sorting uses of caches of term values maintained by the * internal HitQueue(s). The cache is static and contains an integer * or float array of length IndexReader.maxDoc() for each field * name for which a sort is performed. In other words, the size of the * cache in bytes is: * *

4 * IndexReader.maxDoc() * (# of different fields actually used to sort) * *

For String fields, the cache is larger: in addition to the * above array, the value of every term in the field is kept in memory. * If there are many unique terms in the field, this could * be quite large. * *

Note that the size of the cache is not affected by how many * fields are in the index and might be used to sort - only by * the ones actually used to sort a result set. * *

The cache is cleared each time a new IndexReader is * passed in, or if the value returned by maxDoc() * changes for the current IndexReader. This class is not set up to * be able to efficiently sort hits from more than one index * simultaneously. * *
