Class Lucene86PointsFormat

java.lang.Object

org.apache.lucene.codecs.PointsFormat

org.apache.lucene.codecs.lucene86.Lucene86PointsFormat

public final class Lucene86PointsFormat
extends PointsFormat

Lucene 8.6 point format, which encodes dimensional values in a block KD-tree structure for fast 1D range and N dimensional shape intersection filtering. See this paper for details.

Data is stored across three files

• A .kdm file that records metadata about the fields, such as numbers of dimensions or numbers of bytes per dimension.
• A .kdi file that stores inner nodes of the tree.
• A .kdm file that stores leaf nodes, where most of the data lives.

WARNING: This API is experimental and might change in incompatible ways in the next release.

Method Detail

fieldsWriter

public PointsWriter fieldsWriter(SegmentWriteState state)
                          throws IOException

Description copied from class: PointsFormat

Writes a new segment

Specified by:

fieldsWriter in class PointsFormat

Throws:

IOException

fieldsReader

public PointsReader fieldsReader(SegmentReadState state)
                          throws IOException

Description copied from class: PointsFormat

Reads a segment. NOTE: by the time this call returns, it must hold open any files it will need to use; else, those files may be deleted. Additionally, required files may be deleted during the execution of this call before there is a chance to open them. Under these circumstances an IOException should be thrown by the implementation. IOExceptions are expected and will automatically cause a retry of the segment opening logic with the newly revised segments.

Specified by:

fieldsReader in class PointsFormat

Throws:

IOException
