Detailed Description

A posting source which looks up weights in a map using values as the key.

This allows will return entries for all documents in the given database which have a value in the slot specified. The values will be mapped to the corresponding weight in the weight map. If there is no mapping for a particular value, the default weight will be returned (which itself defaults to 0.0).

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ ValueMapPostingSource()

Xapian::ValueMapPostingSource::ValueMapPostingSource ( Xapian::valueno  slot_)
explicit

Construct a ValueMapPostingSource.

Parameters
slot_The value slot to read values from.

Member Function Documentation

◆ add_mapping()

void Xapian::ValueMapPostingSource::add_mapping ( const std::string &  key,
double  wt 
)

Add a mapping.

Parameters
keyThe key looked up from the value slot.
wtThe weight to give this key.

◆ clone()

ValueMapPostingSource* Xapian::ValueMapPostingSource::clone ( ) const
virtual

Clone the posting source.

The clone should inherit the configuration of the parent, but need not inherit the state. ie, the clone does not need to be in the same iteration position as the original: the matcher will always call reset() on the clone before attempting to move the iterator, or read the information about the current position of the iterator.

This may return NULL to indicate that cloning is not supported. In this case, the PostingSource may only be used with a single-database search.

The default implementation returns NULL.

Note that the returned object will be deallocated by Xapian after use with "delete". If you want to handle the deletion in a special way (for example when wrapping the Xapian API for use from another language) then you can define a static operator delete method in your subclass as shown here: https://trac.xapian.org/ticket/554#comment:1

Reimplemented from Xapian::PostingSource.

◆ get_description()

std::string Xapian::ValueMapPostingSource::get_description ( ) const
virtual

Return a string describing this object.

This default implementation returns a generic answer. This default it provided to avoid forcing those deriving their own PostingSource subclass from having to implement this (they may not care what get_description() gives for their subclass).

Reimplemented from Xapian::ValuePostingSource.

◆ get_weight()

double Xapian::ValueMapPostingSource::get_weight ( ) const
virtual

Return the weight contribution for the current document.

This default implementation always returns 0, for convenience when implementing "weight-less" PostingSource subclasses.

This method may assume that it will only be called when there is a "current document". In detail: Xapian will always call reset() on a PostingSource before calling this for the first time. It will also only call this if the PostingSource reports that it is pointing to a valid document (ie, it will not call it before calling at least one of next(), skip_to() or check(), and will ensure that the PostingSource is not at the end by calling at_end()).

Reimplemented from Xapian::PostingSource.

◆ init()

void Xapian::ValueMapPostingSource::init ( const Database db)
virtual

Older method which did the same job as reset().

Prior to 1.5.0, instead of reset() there was a method called init() taking one parameter. The default implementation of reset() calls init() to allow existing subclasses to continue to work.

A default implementation of init() is provided so that new subclasses can just override reset() (the default implementation should not actually get called, and will throw Xapian::InvalidOperationError if it is).

Reimplemented from Xapian::ValuePostingSource.

◆ name()

std::string Xapian::ValueMapPostingSource::name ( ) const
virtual

Name of the posting source class.

This is used when serialising and unserialising posting sources; for example, for performing remote searches.

If the subclass is in a C++ namespace, the namespace should be included in the name, using "::" as a separator. For example, for a PostingSource subclass called "FooPostingSource" in the "Xapian" namespace the result of this call should be "Xapian::FooPostingSource".

This should only be implemented if serialise() and unserialise() are also implemented. The default implementation returns an empty string.

If this returns an empty string, Xapian will assume that serialise() and unserialise() are not implemented.

Reimplemented from Xapian::PostingSource.

◆ serialise()

std::string Xapian::ValueMapPostingSource::serialise ( ) const
virtual

Serialise object parameters into a string.

The serialised parameters should represent the configuration of the posting source, but need not (indeed, should not) represent the current iteration state.

If you don't want to support the remote backend, you can use the default implementation which simply throws Xapian::UnimplementedError.

Reimplemented from Xapian::PostingSource.

◆ set_default_weight()

void Xapian::ValueMapPostingSource::set_default_weight ( double  wt)

Set a default weight for document values not in the map.

Parameters
wtThe weight to set as the default.

◆ unserialise()

ValueMapPostingSource* Xapian::ValueMapPostingSource::unserialise ( const std::string &  serialised) const
virtual

Create object given string serialisation returned by serialise().

Note that the returned object will be deallocated by Xapian after use with "delete". If you want to handle the deletion in a special way (for example when wrapping the Xapian API for use from another language) then you can define a static operator delete method in your subclass as shown here: https://trac.xapian.org/ticket/554#comment:1

If you don't want to support the remote backend, you can use the default implementation which simply throws Xapian::UnimplementedError.

Parameters
serialisedA serialised instance of this PostingSource subclass.
