ParallelLeafReader (Lucene 10.5.0 core API)
Description: declaration: package: org.apache.lucene.index, class: ParallelLeafReader

Package org.apache.lucene.index

# Class ParallelLeafReader

java.lang.Object
org.apache.lucene.index.IndexReader
org.apache.lucene.index.LeafReader
org.apache.lucene.index.ParallelLeafReader

All Implemented Interfaces:
  `Closeable`, `AutoCloseable`

public class ParallelLeafReader extends LeafReader
An `LeafReader` which reads multiple, parallel indexes. Each index added must have the same number of documents, but typically each contains different fields. Deletions are taken from the first reader. 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.

- ## Method Details

  - ### toString

    public String toString()
    Overrides:
      `toString` in class `Object`

  - ### getFieldInfos

    public FieldInfos getFieldInfos()
    Get the `FieldInfos` describing all fields in this reader.

    Note: Implementations should cache the FieldInfos instance returned by this method such that subsequent calls to this method return the same instance.

    NOTE: the returned field numbers will likely not correspond to the actual field numbers in the underlying readers, and codec metadata (`FieldInfo.getAttribute(String)` will be unavailable.

    Specified by:
      `getFieldInfos` in class `LeafReader`

  - ### getLiveDocs

    public Bits getLiveDocs()
    Description copied from class: `LeafReader`
    Returns the `Bits` representing live (not deleted) docs. A set bit indicates the doc ID has not been deleted. If this method returns null it means there are no deleted documents (all documents are live).

    The returned instance has been safely published for use by multiple threads without additional synchronization.

    Specified by:
      `getLiveDocs` in class `LeafReader`

  - ### terms

    public Terms terms(String field) throws IOException
    Description copied from class: `LeafReader`
    Returns the `Terms` index for this field, or null if it has none.
    Specified by:
      `terms` in class `LeafReader`
    Throws:
      `IOException`

    public int numDocs()
    Description copied from class: `IndexReader`
    Returns the number of documents in this index.

    NOTE: This operation may run in O(maxDoc). Implementations that can't return this number in constant-time should cache it.

    Specified by:
      `numDocs` in class `IndexReader`

  - ### maxDoc

    public int maxDoc()
    Description copied from class: `IndexReader`
    Returns one greater than the largest possible document number. This may be used to, e.g., determine how big to allocate an array which will have an element for every document number in an index.
    Specified by:
      `maxDoc` in class `IndexReader`

  - ### storedFields

    public StoredFields storedFields() throws IOException
    Description copied from class: `IndexReader`
    Returns a `StoredFields` reader for the stored fields of this index.

    This call never returns `null`, even if no stored fields were indexed. The returned instance should only be used by a single thread.

    Example:

         TopDocs hits = searcher.search(query, 10);
         StoredFields storedFields = reader.storedFields();
         for (ScoreDoc hit : hits.scoreDocs) {
           Document doc = storedFields.document(hit.doc);
         }

    public IndexReader.CacheHelper getCoreCacheHelper()
    Description copied from class: `LeafReader`
    Optional method: Return a `IndexReader.CacheHelper` that can be used to cache based on the content of this leaf regardless of deletions. Two readers that have the same data but different sets of deleted documents or doc values updates may be considered equal. Consider using `IndexReader.getReaderCacheHelper()` if you need deletions or dv updates to be taken into account.

    A return value of `null` indicates that this reader is not suited for caching, which is typically the case for short-lived wrappers that alter the content of the wrapped leaf reader.

    Specified by:
      `getCoreCacheHelper` in class `LeafReader`

  - ### getReaderCacheHelper

    public IndexReader.CacheHelper getReaderCacheHelper()
    Description copied from class: `IndexReader`
    Optional method: Return a `IndexReader.CacheHelper` that can be used to cache based on the content of this reader. Two readers that have different data or different sets of deleted documents will be considered different.

  - ### searchNearestVectors

    public void searchNearestVectors(String fieldName, float[] target, KnnCollector knnCollector, AcceptDocs acceptDocs) throws IOException
    Description copied from class: `LeafReader`
    Return the k nearest neighbor documents as determined by comparison of their vector values for this field, to the given vector, by the field's similarity function. The score of each document is derived from the vector similarity in a way that ensures scores are positive and that a larger score corresponds to a higher ranking.

    The search is allowed to be approximate, meaning the results are not guaranteed to be the true k closest neighbors. For large values of k (for example when k is close to the total number of documents), the search may also retrieve fewer than k documents.

    The returned `TopDocs` will contain a `ScoreDoc` for each nearest neighbor, in order of their similarity to the query vector (decreasing scores). The `TotalHits` contains the number of documents visited during the search. If the search stopped early because it hit `visitedLimit`, it is indicated through the relation `TotalHits.Relation.GREATER_THAN_OR_EQUAL_TO`.

    The behavior is undefined if the given field doesn't have KNN vectors enabled on its `FieldInfo`. The return value is never `null`.

    Specified by:
      `searchNearestVectors` in class `LeafReader`
    Parameters:
      `fieldName` - the vector field to search
      `target` - the vector-valued query
      `knnCollector` - collector with settings for gathering the vector results.
      `acceptDocs` - `AcceptDocs` that represents the allowed documents to match
    Throws:
      `IOException`

  - ### searchNearestVectors

    public void searchNearestVectors(String fieldName, byte[] target, KnnCollector knnCollector, AcceptDocs acceptDocs) throws IOException
    Description copied from class: `LeafReader`
    Return the k nearest neighbor documents as determined by comparison of their vector values for this field, to the given vector, by the field's similarity function. The score of each document is derived from the vector similarity in a way that ensures scores are positive and that a larger score corresponds to a higher ranking.

    The search is allowed to be approximate, meaning the results are not guaranteed to be the true k closest neighbors. For large values of k (for example when k is close to the total number of documents), the search may also retrieve fewer than k documents.

    The returned `TopDocs` will contain a `ScoreDoc` for each nearest neighbor, in order of their similarity to the query vector (decreasing scores). The `TotalHits` contains the number of documents visited during the search. If the search stopped early because it hit `visitedLimit`, it is indicated through the relation `TotalHits.Relation.GREATER_THAN_OR_EQUAL_TO`.

    The behavior is undefined if the given field doesn't have KNN vectors enabled on its `FieldInfo`. The return value is never `null`.

    Specified by:
      `searchNearestVectors` in class `LeafReader`
    Parameters:
      `fieldName` - the vector field to search
      `target` - the vector-valued query
