Enumerator | |
---|---|
COLLECTION_SIZE |
Number of documents in the collection. |
RSET_SIZE |
Number of documents in the RSet. |
AVERAGE_LENGTH |
Average length of documents in the collection. |
TERMFREQ |
How many documents the current term is in. |
RELTERMFREQ |
How many documents in the RSet the current term is in. |
QUERY_LENGTH |
Sum of wqf for terms in the query. |
WQF |
Within-query-frequency of the current term. |
WDF |
Within-document-frequency of the current term in the current document. |
DOC_LENGTH |
Length of the current document (sum wdf). |
DOC_LENGTH_MIN |
Lower bound on (non-zero) document lengths. |
DOC_LENGTH_MAX |
Upper bound on document lengths. |
WDF_MAX |
Upper bound on wdf. |
|
virtual |
Virtual destructor, because we have virtual methods.

protected |
Don't allow copying.
This would ideally be private, but that causes a compilation error with GCC 4.1 (which appears to be a bug).

pure virtual |
Clone this object.
This method allocates and returns a copy of the object it is called on.
If your subclass is called FooWeight and has parameters a and b, then you would implement FooWeight::clone() like so:
FooWeight * FooWeight::clone() const { return new FooWeight(a, b); }
Note that the returned object will be deallocated by Xapian after use with "delete". If you want to handle the deletion in a special way (for example when wrapping the Xapian API for use from another language) then you can define a static operator delete
method in your subclass as shown here: https://trac.xapian.org/ticket/554#comment:1

inlineprotected |
A lower bound on the minimum length of any document in the database.
This bound does not include any zero-length documents.
This should only be used by get_maxpart() and get_maxextra().
|
inlineprotected |
An upper bound on the maximum length of any document in the database.
This should only be used by get_maxpart() and get_maxextra().
|
pure virtual |
Return an upper bound on what get_sumextra() can return for any document.
This information is used by the matcher to perform various optimisations, so strive to make the bound as tight as possible.
Implemented in Xapian::TradWeight, Xapian::BM25Weight, and Xapian::BoolWeight.

Calculate the term-independent weight component for a document.
The parameter gives information about the document which may be used in the calculations:
doclen | The document's length (unnormalised). |
Implemented in Xapian::TradWeight, Xapian::BM25Weight, and Xapian::BoolWeight.
|
pure virtual |
Calculate the weight contribution for this object's term to a document.
The parameters give information about the document which may be used in the calculations:
wdf | The within document frequency of the term in the document. |
doclen | The document's length (unnormalised). |
Implemented in Xapian::TradWeight, Xapian::BM25Weight, and Xapian::BoolWeight.
|
inlineprotected |
An upper bound on the wdf of this term.
This should only be used by get_maxpart() and get_maxextra().
|
protectedpure virtual |
Allow the subclass to perform any initialisation it needs to.
factor | Any scaling factor (e.g. from OP_SCALE_WEIGHT). If the Weight object is for the term-independent weight supplied by get_sumextra()/get_maxextra(), then init(0.0) is called (starting from Xapian 1.2.11 and 1.3.1 - earlier versions failed to call init() for such Weight objects). |
|
virtual |
Return the name of this weighting scheme.
This name is used by the remote backend. It is passed along with the serialised parameters to the remote server so that it knows which class to create.
Return the full namespace-qualified name of your class here - if your class is called FooWeight, return "FooWeight" from this method (Xapian::BM25Weight returns "Xapian::BM25Weight" here).
If you don't want to support the remote backend, you can use the default implementation which simply returns an empty string.
Reimplemented in Xapian::TradWeight, Xapian::BM25Weight, and Xapian::BoolWeight.
|
inlineprotected |
Tell Xapian that your subclass will want a particular statistic.
Some of the statistics can be costly to fetch or calculate, so Xapian needs to know which are actually going to be used. You should call need_stat() from your constructor for each such statistic.
flag | The stat_flags value for a required statistic. |
|
virtual |
Return this object's parameters serialised as a single string.
If you don't want to support the remote backend, you can use the default implementation which simply throws Xapian::UnimplementedError.
Reimplemented in Xapian::TradWeight, Xapian::BM25Weight, and Xapian::BoolWeight.
|
virtual |
Unserialise parameters.
This method unserialises parameters serialised by the serialise() method and allocates and returns a new object initialised with them.
If you don't want to support the remote backend, you can use the default implementation which simply throws Xapian::UnimplementedError.
Note that the returned object will be deallocated by Xapian after use with "delete". If you want to handle the deletion in a special way (for example when wrapping the Xapian API for use from another language) then you can define a static operator delete
method in your subclass as shown here: https://trac.xapian.org/ticket/554#comment:1
s | A string containing the serialised parameters. |
Reimplemented in Xapian::TradWeight, Xapian::BM25Weight, and Xapian::BoolWeight.
