Class NGramPhraseQuery

java.lang.Object

org.apache.lucene.search.Query

org.apache.lucene.search.NGramPhraseQuery

public class NGramPhraseQuery
extends Query

This is a PhraseQuery which is optimized for n-gram phrase query. For example, when you query "ABCD" on a 2-gram field, you may want to use NGramPhraseQuery rather than PhraseQuery, because NGramPhraseQuery will rewrite(IndexReader) the query to "AB/0 CD/2", while PhraseQuery will query "AB/0 BC/1 CD/2" (where term/position).

Constructor Detail

NGramPhraseQuery

public NGramPhraseQuery(int n,
                        PhraseQuery query)

Constructor that takes gram size.

Parameters:

n - n-gram size

Method Detail

rewrite

public Query rewrite(IndexReader reader)
              throws IOException

Description copied from class: Query

Expert: called to re-write queries into primitive queries. For example, a PrefixQuery will be rewritten into a BooleanQuery that consists of TermQuerys.

Overrides:

rewrite in class Query

Throws:

IOException

visit

public void visit(QueryVisitor visitor)

Description copied from class: Query

Recurse through the query tree, visiting any child queries

Overrides:

visit in class Query

Parameters:

visitor - a QueryVisitor to be called by each query in the tree

equals

public boolean equals(Object other)

Description copied from class: Query

Override and implement query instance equivalence properly in a subclass. This is required so that QueryCache works properly. Typically a query will be equal to another only if it's an instance of the same class and its document-filtering properties are identical that other instance. Utility methods are provided for certain repetitive code.

Specified by:

equals in class Query

Query.sameClassAs(Object), Query.classHash()

hashCode

public int hashCode()

Description copied from class: Query

Override and implement query hash code properly in a subclass. This is required so that QueryCache works properly.

Specified by:

hashCode in class Query

See Also:

Query.equals(Object)

getN

public int getN()

Return the n in n-gram

getTerms

public Term[] getTerms()

Return the list of terms.

getPositions

public int[] getPositions()

Return the list of relative positions that each term should appear at.

toString

public String toString(String field)

Description copied from class: Query

Prints a query to a string, with field assumed to be the default field and omitted.

Specified by:

toString in class Query
