Constructor Detail

FieldType

public FieldType(FieldType ref)

Create a new mutable FieldType with all of the properties from ref

FieldType

public FieldType()

Create a new FieldType with default properties.

Method Detail

freeze

public void freeze()

Prevents future changes. Note, it is recommended that this is called once the FieldTypes's properties have been set, to prevent unintentional state changes.

indexed

public boolean indexed()

True if this field should be indexed (inverted)

The default is false.

Specified by:

indexed in interface IndexableFieldType

See Also:

setIndexed(boolean)

setIndexed

public void setIndexed(boolean value)

Set to true to index (invert) this field.

Parameters:

value - true if this field should be indexed.

Throws:

java.lang.IllegalStateException - if this FieldType is frozen against future modifications.

See Also:

indexed()

stored

public boolean stored()

True if the field's value should be stored

The default is false.

Specified by:

stored in interface IndexableFieldType

See Also:

setStored(boolean)

setStored

public void setStored(boolean value)

Set to true to store this field.

Parameters:

value - true if this field should be stored.

Throws:

java.lang.IllegalStateException - if this FieldType is frozen against future modifications.

See Also:

stored()

tokenized

public boolean tokenized()

True if this field's value should be analyzed by the Analyzer.

This has no effect if IndexableFieldType.indexed() returns false.

The default is true.

Specified by:

tokenized in interface IndexableFieldType

See Also:

setTokenized(boolean)

setTokenized

public void setTokenized(boolean value)

Set to true to tokenize this field's contents via the configured Analyzer.

Parameters:

value - true if this field should be tokenized.

Throws:

java.lang.IllegalStateException - if this FieldType is frozen against future modifications.

See Also:

tokenized()

storeTermVectors

public boolean storeTermVectors()

True if this field's indexed form should be also stored into term vectors.

This builds a miniature inverted-index for this field which can be accessed in a document-oriented way from IndexReader.getTermVector(int,String).

This option is illegal if IndexableFieldType.indexed() returns false.

The default is false.

Specified by:

storeTermVectors in interface IndexableFieldType

See Also:

setStoreTermVectors(boolean)

setStoreTermVectors

public void setStoreTermVectors(boolean value)

Set to true if this field's indexed form should be also stored into term vectors.

Parameters:

value - true if this field should store term vectors.

Throws:

java.lang.IllegalStateException - if this FieldType is frozen against future modifications.

See Also:

storeTermVectors()

storeTermVectorOffsets

public boolean storeTermVectorOffsets()

True if this field's token character offsets should also be stored into term vectors.

This option is illegal if term vectors are not enabled for the field (IndexableFieldType.storeTermVectors() is false)

The default is false.

Specified by:

storeTermVectorOffsets in interface IndexableFieldType

See Also:

setStoreTermVectorOffsets(boolean)

setStoreTermVectorOffsets

public void setStoreTermVectorOffsets(boolean value)

Set to true to also store token character offsets into the term vector for this field.

Parameters:

value - true if this field should store term vector offsets.

Throws:

java.lang.IllegalStateException - if this FieldType is frozen against future modifications.

See Also:

storeTermVectorOffsets()

storeTermVectorPositions

public boolean storeTermVectorPositions()

True if this field's token positions should also be stored into the term vectors.

This option is illegal if term vectors are not enabled for the field (IndexableFieldType.storeTermVectors() is false).

The default is false.

Specified by:

storeTermVectorPositions in interface IndexableFieldType

See Also:

setStoreTermVectorPositions(boolean)

setStoreTermVectorPositions
