dtValue - the class representing the datatype of the property value. This can be used to cast the property value to a different datatype. For example, if the value is "3.01" and dtValue is Float.Class, then this value will be treated as a 3.01f.

acceptWildcard - specifies if wild cards can be used in the value object.

startShardId - the ID of the starting shard.

Returns:

a CloseableIterable object.

getSearcherFactory

public org.apache.lucene.search.SearcherFactory getSearcherFactory()

Gets the searcher factory associated to this index

getTotalShards

public int getTotalShards()

Gets the number of shards (sub-directories) in this index.

Specified by:

getTotalShards in interface OracleIndex<T extends com.tinkerpop.blueprints.Element>

isAutoIndex

public boolean isAutoIndex()

Returns true if this is an auto index

put

public void put(java.lang.String key,
                java.lang.Object value,
                T element)

Indexes an element by a key and a value.

Specified by:

put in interface com.tinkerpop.blueprints.Index<T extends com.tinkerpop.blueprints.Element>

Parameters:

key - the key to index the element by.

value - the value to index the element by.

element - the element to index.

put

public void put(java.lang.String key,
                java.lang.Object value,
                T element,
                OracleIndexWriter[] indexWriters)

Indexes an element by a key and a value. Using an array of OracleIndexWriter for all the sub-directories in the text index reduce the number of open/commit/close operations to Apache Lucene. The user is responsible of calling the commit operation on each index writer so the changes executed by this operation are persisted into the text index.

Parameters:

key - the key to index the element by.

value - the value to index the element by.

element - the element to index.

indexWriters - if not null, the cache of indexWriters to use, this avoids opening/closing index writers at flush time, but locks writing operations over the index.

Query for all the elements satisfying the specified K/V property within the index

Specified by:

query in interface OracleIndex<T extends com.tinkerpop.blueprints.Element>

Parameters:

key - the key of the K/V property

value - the value object of the K/V property

a CloseableIterable object.

remove

public void remove(java.lang.String key,
                   java.lang.Object value,
                   java.lang.Class dtValue,
                   T element,
                   OracleIndexWriter[] indexWriters)

Removes an element indexed by a particular key/value. Using an array of OracleIndexWriter for all the sub-directories in the text index reduce the number of open/commit/close operations to Apache Lucene. The user is responsible of calling the commit operation on each index writer so the changes executed by this operation are persisted into the text index.

Parameters:

key - the key of the indexed element.

value - the value of the indexed element.

dtValue - the data type class of the indexed element.

element - the element to remove given the key/value pair.

indexWriters - if not null, the cache of indexWriters to use, this avoids opening/closing index writers at flush time, but locks writing operations over the index.

remove

public void remove(java.lang.String key,
                   java.lang.Object value,
                   T element)

Removes an element indexed by a particular key/value.

Specified by:

remove in interface com.tinkerpop.blueprints.Index<T extends com.tinkerpop.blueprints.Element>

Parameters:

key - the key of the indexed element.

value - the value of the indexed element.

element - the element to remove given the key/value pair.

Removes an element indexed by a particular key/value.

Parameters:

key - the key of the indexed element.

value - the value of the indexed element.

element - the element to remove given the key/value pair.

indexWriters - if not null, the cache of indexWriters to use, this avoids opening/closing index writers at flush time, but locks writing operations over the index.
