input

Constructor Summary

StopFilter(TokenStream in, Hashtable stopTable)
Deprecated. Use StopFilter(TokenStream, Set) instead

StopFilter(TokenStream in, Set stopWords)
Constructs a filter which removes words from the input TokenStream that are named in the Set.

StopFilter(TokenStream in, String[] stopWords)
Constructs a filter which removes words from the input TokenStream that are named in the array of words.

Method Summary

static Set	makeStopSet(String[] stopWords) Builds a Set from an array of stop words, appropriate for passing into the StopFilter constructor.
static Hashtable	makeStopTable(String[] stopWords) Deprecated. Use makeStopSet(String[]) instead.
Token	next() Returns the next input Token whose termText() is not a stop word.

StopFilter

public StopFilter(TokenStream in,
                  String[] stopWords)

Constructs a filter which removes words from the input TokenStream that are named in the array of words.

StopFilter

public StopFilter(TokenStream in,
                  Hashtable stopTable)

Deprecated. Use StopFilter(TokenStream, Set) instead

Constructs a filter which removes words from the input TokenStream that are named in the Hashtable.

StopFilter

public StopFilter(TokenStream in,
                  Set stopWords)

Constructs a filter which removes words from the input TokenStream that are named in the Set. It is crucial that an efficient Set implementation is used for maximum performance.

Method Detail

makeStopTable

public static final Hashtable makeStopTable(String[] stopWords)

Deprecated. Use makeStopSet(String[]) instead.

Builds a Hashtable from an array of stop words, appropriate for passing into the StopFilter constructor. This permits this table construction to be cached once when an Analyzer is constructed.

makeStopSet

public static final Set makeStopSet(String[] stopWords)

Builds a Set from an array of stop words, appropriate for passing into the StopFilter constructor. This permits this stopWords construction to be cached once when an Analyzer is constructed.

next

public final Token next()
                 throws IOException

Returns the next input Token whose termText() is not a stop word.

Specified by:

next in class TokenStream

Throws:

IOException
