SYNOPSIS

use Sys::Hostname qw( hostname );
my $hostname = hostname() or die "Can't get unique hostname";
my $manager = Lucy::Index::IndexManager->new(
host => $hostname,
);
# Index time:
my $indexer = Lucy::Index::Indexer->new(
index => '/path/to/index',
manager => $manager,
);
# Search time:
my $reader = Lucy::Index::IndexReader->open(
index => '/path/to/index',
manager => $manager,
);
my $searcher = Lucy::Search::IndexSearcher->new( index => $reader );

DESCRIPTION

IndexManager is an advanced-use class for controlling index locking, updating, merging, and deletion behaviors.

IndexManager and Architecture are complementary classes: Architecture is used to define traits and behaviors which cannot change for the life of an index; IndexManager is used for defining rules which may change from process to process.

CONSTRUCTORS

new( [labeled params] )

    my $manager = Lucy::Index::IndexManager->new(
        host => $hostname,    # default: ""
    );

• host - An identifier which should be unique per-machine.
• lock_factory - A LockFactory.

METHODS

make_write_lock()

Create the Lock which controls access to modifying the logical content of the index.

recycle( [labeled params] )

Return an array of SegReaders representing segments that should be consolidated. Implementations must balance index-time churn against search-time degradation due to segment proliferation. The default implementation prefers small segments or segments with a high proportion of deletions.

• reader - A PolyReader.
• del_writer - A DeletionsWriter.
• cutoff - A segment number which all returned SegReaders must exceed.
• optimize - A boolean indicating whether to spend extra time optimizing the index for search-time performance.

set_folder(folder)

Setter for "folder" member. Typical clients (Indexer, IndexReader) will use this method to install their own Folder instance.

get_folder()

Getter for "folder" member.

get_host()

Getter for "host" member.

set_write_lock_timeout(timeout)

Setter for write lock timeout. Default: 1000 milliseconds.

get_write_lock_timeout()

Getter for write lock timeout.

set_write_lock_interval(timeout)

Setter for write lock retry interval. Default: 100 milliseconds.

get_write_lock_interval()

Getter for write lock retry interval.

INHERITANCE

Lucy::Index::IndexManager isa Lucy::Object::Obj.
