protected NormsProducer()

Sole constructor. (For invocation by subclass constructors, typically implicit.)

Method Detail

getNorms

public abstract NumericDocValues getNorms(FieldInfo field)
                                   throws java.io.IOException

Returns NumericDocValues for this field. The returned instance need not be thread-safe: it will only be used by a single thread.

Throws:

java.io.IOException

checkIntegrity

public abstract void checkIntegrity()
                             throws java.io.IOException

Checks consistency of this producer

Note that this may be costly in terms of I/O, e.g. may involve computing a checksum value against large data files.

Throws:

java.io.IOException

getMergeInstance

public NormsProducer getMergeInstance()
                               throws java.io.IOException

Returns an instance optimized for merging.

The default implementation returns this

Throws:

java.io.IOException
