      • incrementToken

        public final boolean incrementToken()
                                     throws IOException
        Description copied from class: TokenStream
        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 AttributeSource.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 AttributeSource.addAttribute(Class) and AttributeSource.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 TokenStream.incrementToken().

        Specified by:
        incrementToken in class TokenStream
        Returns:
        false for end of stream; true otherwise
        Throws:
        IOException
      • setEnablePositionIncrements

        public void setEnablePositionIncrements​(boolean enable)
        If true, this TokenFilter will preserve positions of the incoming tokens (ie, accumulate and set position increments of the removed tokens). Generally, true is best as it does not lose information (positions of the original tokens) during indexing.

        When set, when a token is stopped (omitted), the position increment of the following token is incremented.

        NOTE: be sure to also set QueryParser.setEnablePositionIncrements(boolean) if you use QueryParser to create queries.
