Package org.modeshape.jcr.spi.index.provider

This package contains the Service Provider Interface (SPI) for custom index providers, which are components that encapsulate how ModeShape updates and uses a set of particular indexes.

See: Description

Interface Summary

Interface	Description
Costable	A simple interface that provides metrics needed to compute the cost of applying indexes.
Filter	A simple filter that takes constraints as input and returns a results object that lazily returns (in batches) those nodes that satisfy the constraints.
Filter.Results	The results of a Filter.filter(IndexConstraints) operation that contains the nodes that satisfy the supplied constraints.
IndexProvider.ManagedIndexOperation	An operation that performs on a managed index with the associated index definition.
ManagedIndex	The top-level interface for an index owned by a provider, with common methods needed by indexes regardless of number of columns.

Class Summary

Class	Description
IndexChangeAdapter
IndexPlanner	A provider-specific component obtained by ModeShape and then used in the planning and optimization phases of each query to identify which provider-specific indexes, if any, can be used in the processing phase to most-efficiently obtain the set of nodes that satisfies the given criteria.
IndexProvider	A component that provides access to and manages a set of indexes that are described/defined with IndexDefinition objects via the session's IndexManager.
IndexUsage	A component that can determine if an index can be used to evaluate constraints.

Exception Summary

Exception	Description
IndexProviderExistsException	Exception used when an index provider already exists.
NoSuchProviderException	Exception used when an index does not exist.

Package org.modeshape.jcr.spi.index.provider Description

This package contains the Service Provider Interface (SPI) for custom index providers, which are components that encapsulate how ModeShape updates and uses a set of particular indexes. To integrate your own indexing technology into ModeShape, start by create a concrete subclass of IndexProvider, as well as the necessary IndexWriter, Index, and IndexPlanner interfaces.
