LegacyDirectMonotonicWriter (Lucene 10.5.1 backward-codecs API)
Description: declaration: package: org.apache.lucene.backward_codecs.packed, class: LegacyDirectMonotonicWriter

Package org.apache.lucene.backward_codecs.packed

# Class LegacyDirectMonotonicWriter

java.lang.Object
org.apache.lucene.backward_codecs.packed.LegacyDirectMonotonicWriter

public final class LegacyDirectMonotonicWriter extends Object
Write monotonically-increasing sequences of integers. This writer splits data into blocks and then for each block, computes the average slope, the minimum value and only encode the delta from the expected value using a `LegacyDirectWriter`.

  - `LegacyDirectMonotonicReader`
NOTE: This API is for internal purposes only and might change in incompatible ways in the next release.

  Method
  Description
  `void`
  `add(long v)`
  Write a new value.
  `void`
  `finish()`
  This must be called exactly once after all values have been `added`.
  `static LegacyDirectMonotonicWriter`
  `getInstance(IndexOutput metaOut, IndexOutput dataOut, long numValues, int blockShift)`
  Returns an instance suitable for encoding `numValues` into monotonic blocks of 2`blockShift` values.

- ## Method Details

  - ### add

    public void add(long v) throws IOException
    Write a new value. Note that data might not make it to storage until `finish()` is called.
    Throws:
      `IllegalArgumentException` - if values don't come in order
      `IOException`

  - ### finish

    public void finish() throws IOException
    This must be called exactly once after all values have been `added`.
    Throws:
      `IOException`

  - ### getInstance

    public static LegacyDirectMonotonicWriter getInstance(IndexOutput metaOut, IndexOutput dataOut, long numValues, int blockShift)
    Returns an instance suitable for encoding `numValues` into monotonic blocks of 2`blockShift` values. Metadata will be written to `metaOut` and actual data to `dataOut`.
