Class BinaryPoint

java.lang.Object

org.apache.lucene.document.Field

org.apache.lucene.document.BinaryPoint

All Implemented Interfaces:

IndexableField

public final class BinaryPoint
extends Field

An indexed binary field for fast range filters. If you also need to store the value, you should add a separate StoredField instance.

Finding all documents within an N-dimensional shape or range at search time is efficient. Multiple values for the same field in one document is allowed.

This field defines static factory methods for creating common queries:

• newExactQuery(String, byte[]) for matching an exact 1D point.
• newSetQuery(String, byte[]...) for matching a set of 1D values.
• newRangeQuery(String, byte[], byte[]) for matching a 1D range.
• newRangeQuery(String, byte[][], byte[][]) for matching points/ranges in n-dimensional space.

BinaryPoint

public BinaryPoint(String name,
                   byte[]... point)

General purpose API: creates a new BinaryPoint, indexing the provided N-dimensional binary point.

Parameters:

name - field name

point - byte[][] value

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if the field name or value is null.

Method Detail

newExactQuery

public static Query newExactQuery(String field,
                                  byte[] value)

Create a query for matching an exact binary value.

This is for simple one-dimension points, for multidimensional points use newRangeQuery(String, byte[][], byte[][]) instead.

Parameters:

field - field name. must not be null.

value - binary value

Returns:

a query matching documents with this exact value

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if field is null or value is null

newRangeQuery

public static Query newRangeQuery(String field,
                                  byte[] lowerValue,
                                  byte[] upperValue)

Create a range query for binary values.

This is for simple one-dimension ranges, for multidimensional ranges use newRangeQuery(String, byte[][], byte[][]) instead.

Parameters:

field - field name. must not be null.

lowerValue - lower portion of the range (inclusive). must not be null

upperValue - upper portion of the range (inclusive). must not be null

Returns:

a query matching documents within this range.

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if field is null, if lowerValue is null, or if upperValue is null

newRangeQuery

public static Query newRangeQuery(String field,
                                  byte[][] lowerValue,
                                  byte[][] upperValue)

Create a range query for n-dimensional binary values.

Parameters:

field - field name. must not be null.

lowerValue - lower portion of the range (inclusive). must not be null.

upperValue - upper portion of the range (inclusive). must not be null.

Returns:

a query matching documents within this range.

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if field is null, if lowerValue is null, if upperValue is null, or if lowerValue.length != upperValue.length

newSetQuery

public static Query newSetQuery(String field,
                                byte[]... values)

Create a query matching any of the specified 1D values. This is the points equivalent of TermsQuery.

Parameters:

field - field name. must not be null.

values - all values to match
