Class TrimFilter

All Implemented Interfaces:
Closeable, AutoCloseable

public final class TrimFilter extends TokenFilter
Trims leading and trailing whitespace from Tokens in the stream.

As of Lucene 4.4, this filter does not support updateOffsets=true anymore as it can lead to broken token streams.

      Parameters:
      version - the Lucene match version
      in - the stream to consume
      updateOffsets - whether to update offsets

    • incrementToken

      public boolean incrementToken() throws IOException
      Description copied from class: TokenStream
      Consumers (i.e., IndexWriter) use this method to advance the stream to the next token. Implementing classes must implement this method and update the appropriate AttributeImpls with the attributes of the next token.

      The producer must make no assumptions about the attributes after the method has been returned: the caller may arbitrarily change it. If the producer needs to preserve the state for subsequent calls, it can use AttributeSource.captureState() to create a copy of the current attribute state.

      This method is called for every token of a document, so an efficient implementation is crucial for good performance. To avoid calls to AttributeSource.addAttribute(Class) and AttributeSource.getAttribute(Class), references to all AttributeImpls that this stream uses should be retrieved during instantiation.

      To ensure that filters and consumers know which attributes are available, the attributes must be added during instantiation. Filters and consumers are not required to check for availability of attributes in TokenStream.incrementToken().

      Returns:
      false for end of stream; true otherwise
