Document
Documents are the unit of indexing and search.
A Document is a set of fields. Each field has a name and a textual value. A field may be stored with the document, in which case it is returned with search hits on the document. Thus each document should typically contain one or more stored fields which uniquely identify it.
Note that fields which are not are not available in documents retrieved from the index, e.g. with ScoreDoc.doc or StoredFields.document.
Functions
Adds a field to a document. Several fields may be added with the same name. In this case, if the fields are indexed, their text is treated as though appended for the purposes of search.
Returns the string value of the field with the given name if any exist in this document, or null. If multiple fields exist with this name, this method returns the first value added. If only binary fields with this name exist, returns null. For a numeric StoredField it returns the string value of the number. If you want the actual numeric field instance back, use .getField.
Returns an array of bytes for the first (or only) field that has the name specified as the method parameter. This method will return null if no binary fields with the specified name are available. There may be non-binary fields with the same name.
Returns an array of byte arrays for of the fields that have the name specified as the method parameter. This method returns an empty array when there are no matching fields. It never returns null.
Returns a field with the given name if any exist in this document, or null. If multiple fields exists with this name, this method returns the first value added.
Returns a List of all the fields in a document.
Returns an array of IndexableFields with the given name. This method returns an empty array when there are no matching fields. It never returns null.
Returns an array of values of the field specified as the method parameter. This method returns an empty array when there are no matching fields. It never returns null. For a numeric [ ] it returns the string value of the number. If you want the actual numeric field instances back, use .getFields.
Removes field with the specified name from the document. If multiple fields exist with this name, this method removes the first field that has been added. If there is no field with the specified name, the document remains unchanged.
Removes all fields with the given name from the document. If there is no field with the specified name, the document remains unchanged.
