Class JavaUtilRegexCapabilities

java.lang.Object

org.apache.lucene.search.regex.JavaUtilRegexCapabilities

All Implemented Interfaces:

RegexCapabilities

public class JavaUtilRegexCapabilities
extends java.lang.Object
implements RegexCapabilities

An implementation tying Java's built-in java.util.regex to RegexQuery. Note that because this implementation currently only returns null from prefix() that queries using this implementation will enumerate and attempt to match(java.lang.String) each term for the specified field in the index.

Methods

Modifier and Type	Method and Description
void	compile(java.lang.String pattern) Called by the constructor of RegexTermEnum allowing implementations to cache a compiled version of the regular expression pattern.
boolean	equals(java.lang.Object o)
int	hashCode()
boolean	match(java.lang.String string)
java.lang.String	prefix() A wise prefix implementation can reduce the term enumeration (and thus increase performance) of RegexQuery dramatically!

Method Detail

compile

public void compile(java.lang.String pattern)

Description copied from interface: RegexCapabilities

Called by the constructor of RegexTermEnum allowing implementations to cache a compiled version of the regular expression pattern.

Specified by:

compile in interface RegexCapabilities

Parameters:

pattern - regular expression pattern

match

public boolean match(java.lang.String string)

Specified by:

match in interface RegexCapabilities

Returns:

true if string matches the pattern last passed to RegexCapabilities.compile(java.lang.String).

prefix

public java.lang.String prefix()

Description copied from interface: RegexCapabilities

A wise prefix implementation can reduce the term enumeration (and thus increase performance) of RegexQuery dramatically!

Specified by:

prefix in interface RegexCapabilities

Returns:

static non-regex prefix of the pattern last passed to RegexCapabilities.compile(java.lang.String). May return null.

equals

public boolean equals(java.lang.Object o)

Overrides:

equals in class java.lang.Object

hashCode

public int hashCode()

Overrides:

hashCode in class java.lang.Object
