Class ParallelReader

    java.lang.Object
      org.apache.lucene.index.IndexReader
          org.apache.lucene.index.ParallelReader

    public class ParallelReader

extends IndexReader

An IndexReader which reads multiple, parallel indexes. Each index added must have the same number of documents, but typically each contains different fields. Each document contains the union of the fields of all documents with the same document number. When searching, matches for a query term are from the first index added that has the field.

This is useful, e.g., with collections that have large fields which change rarely and small fields that change more frequently. The smaller fields may be re-indexed in a new index and both indexes may be searched together.

Warning: It is up to you to make sure all indexes are created and modified the same way. For example, if you add documents to one index, you need to add the same documents in the same order to the other indexes. Failure to do so will result in undefined behavior.

Constructor Detail

### ParallelReader

    public ParallelReader()
                   throws IOException

  Construct a ParallelReader.

  Note that all subreaders are closed if this ParallelReader is closed.

  Throws:
    `IOException`

### ParallelReader

    public ParallelReader(boolean closeSubReaders)
                   throws IOException

  Construct a ParallelReader.

  Parameters:
    `closeSubReaders` - indicates whether the subreaders should be closed when this ParallelReader is closed
  Throws:
    `IOException`

Method Detail

### add

    public void add(IndexReader reader)
             throws IOException

  Add an IndexReader.

  Throws:
    `IOException` - if there is a low-level IO error

### add

    public void add(IndexReader reader,
                    boolean ignoreStoredFields)
             throws IOException

  Add an IndexReader whose stored fields will not be returned. This can accellerate search when stored fields are only needed from a subset of the IndexReaders.

  Throws:
    `IllegalArgumentException` - if not all indexes contain the same number of documents
    `IllegalArgumentException` - if not all indexes have the same value of `IndexReader.maxDoc()`
    `IOException` - if there is a low-level IO error

### reopen

    public IndexReader reopen()
                       throws CorruptIndexException,
                              IOException

  Tries to reopen the subreaders.
  If one or more subreaders could be re-opened (i. e. subReader.reopen() returned a new instance != subReader), then a new ParallelReader instance is returned, otherwise this instance is returned.

  A re-opened instance might share one or more subreaders with the old instance. Index modification operations result in undefined behavior when performed before the old instance is closed. (see `IndexReader.reopen()`).

  If subreaders are shared, then the reference count of those readers is increased to ensure that the subreaders remain open until the last referring reader is closed.

  Overrides:
    `reopen` in class `IndexReader`
  Throws:
    `CorruptIndexException` - if the index is corrupt
    `IOException` - if there is a low-level IO error

NOTE: If this Reader (more specifically, the underlying `FieldsReader`) is closed before the lazy `Field` is loaded an exception may be thrown. If you want the value of a lazy `Field` to be available after closing you must explicitly load it or fetch the Document again with a new loader.

  Parameters:
    `n` - Get the document at the `n`th position
    `fieldSelector` - The `FieldSelector` to use to determine what Fields should be loaded on the Document. May be null, in which case all Fields will be loaded.

  Term => <docNum, freq>*

  The enumeration is ordered by document number. Each document number is greater than all that precede it in the enumeration.

  Overrides:
    `termDocs` in class `IndexReader`

  Description copied from class: `IndexReader`
  Returns an enumeration of all the documents which contain `term`. For each document, in addition to the document number and frequency of the term in that document, a list of all of the ordinal positions of the term in the document is available. Thus, this method implements the mapping:

  Term => <docNum, freq, <pos1, pos2, ... posfreq-1> >*

  This positional information facilitates phrase and proximity searching.

  The enumeration is ordered by document number. Each document number is greater than all that precede it in the enumeration.
