Class Overview

This class can be used if the token attributes of a TokenStream are intended to be consumed more than once. It caches all token attribute states locally in a List.

CachingTokenFilter implements the optional method reset(), which repositions the stream to the first Token.

Public Constructors

Public Methods

public final void end ()

Performs end-of-stream operations, if any, and calls then end() on the input TokenStream.

NOTE: Be sure to call super.end() first when overriding this method.

Throws
IOException

public final boolean incrementToken ()

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 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 addAttribute(Class) and 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 incrementToken().

Returns
  • false for end of stream; true otherwise
Throws
IOException

public void reset ()

Reset the filter as well as the input TokenStream.

Throws
IOException
