Constructor Detail

### TermFirstPassGroupingCollector

    public TermFirstPassGroupingCollector(String groupField,
                                          org.apache.lucene.search.Sort groupSort,
                                          int topNGroups)
                                   throws IOException

  Create the first pass collector.

  Parameters:
    `groupField` - The field used to group documents. This field must be single-valued and indexed (FieldCache is used to access its value per-document).
    `groupSort` - The `Sort` used to sort the groups. The top sorted document within each group according to groupSort, determines how that group sorts against other groups. This must be non-null, ie, if you want to groupSort by relevance use Sort.RELEVANCE.
    `topNGroups` - How many top groups to keep.
  Throws:
    `IOException` - When I/O related errors occur

Method Detail

### getDocGroupValue

    protected String getDocGroupValue(int doc)

  Description copied from class: `AbstractFirstPassGroupingCollector`
  Returns the group value for the specified doc.

  Specified by:
    `getDocGroupValue` in class `AbstractFirstPassGroupingCollector<String>`
  Parameters:
    `doc` - The specified doc
  Returns:
    the group value for the specified doc

### copyDocGroupValue

    protected String copyDocGroupValue(String groupValue,
                                       String reuse)

  Description copied from class: `AbstractFirstPassGroupingCollector`
  Returns a copy of the specified group value by creating a new instance and copying the value from the specified groupValue in the new instance. Or optionally the reuse argument can be used to copy the group value in.

  Specified by:
    `copyDocGroupValue` in class `AbstractFirstPassGroupingCollector<String>`
  Parameters:
    `groupValue` - The group value to copy
    `reuse` - Optionally a reuse instance to prevent a new instance creation
  Returns:
    a copy of the specified group value

### setNextReader

    public void setNextReader(org.apache.lucene.index.IndexReader reader,
                              int docBase)
                       throws IOException

  Overrides:
    `setNextReader` in class `AbstractFirstPassGroupingCollector<String>`
  Throws:
