Class SegmentInfos

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    java.lang.Cloneable, java.lang.Iterable<SegmentCommitInfo>
    public final class SegmentInfos
extends java.lang.Object
implements java.lang.Cloneable, java.lang.Iterable<SegmentCommitInfo>
    A collection of segmentInfo objects with methods for operating on those segments in relation to the file system.

    The active segments in the index are stored in the segment info file, segments_N. There may be one or more segments_N files in the index; however, the one with the largest generation is the active one (when older segments_N files are present it's because they temporarily cannot be deleted, or, a writer is in the process of committing, or a custom IndexDeletionPolicy is in use). This file lists each segment by name and has details about the codec and generation of deletes.

    There is also a file segments.gen. This file contains the current generation (the _N in segments_N) of the index. This is used only as a fallback in case the current generation cannot be accurately determined by directory listing alone (as is the case for some NFS clients with time-based directory cache expiration). This file simply contains an Int32 version header (FORMAT_SEGMENTS_GEN_CURRENT), followed by the generation recorded as Int64, written twice.

    Files:

    • segments.gen: GenHeader, Generation, Generation
    • segments_N: Header, Version, NameCounter, SegCount, <SegName, SegCodec, DelGen, DeletionCount, FieldInfosGen, UpdatesFiles>SegCount, CommitUserData, Checksum

    Data types:

    Field Descriptions:

    • Version counts how often the index has been changed by adding or deleting documents.
    • NameCounter is used to generate names for new segment files.
    • SegName is the name of the segment, and is used as the file name prefix for all of the files that compose the segment's index.
    • DelGen is the generation count of the deletes file. If this is -1, there are no deletes. Anything above zero means there are deletes stored by LiveDocsFormat.
    • DeletionCount records the number of deleted documents in this segment.
    • Checksum contains the CRC32 checksum of all bytes in the segments_N file up until the checksum. This is used to verify integrity of the file on opening the index.
    • SegCodec is the name of the Codec that encoded this segment.
    • CommitUserData stores an optional user-supplied opaque Map<String,String> that was passed to IndexWriter.setCommitData(java.util.Map).
    • FieldInfosGen is the generation count of the fieldInfos file. If this is -1, there are no updates to the fieldInfos in that segment. Anything above zero means there are updates to fieldInfos stored by FieldInfosFormat.
    • UpdatesFiles stores the list of files that were updated in that segment.
