TokenFilter (Lucene 10.5.1 core API)
Description: declaration: package: org.apache.lucene.analysis, class: TokenFilter

Package org.apache.lucene.analysis

# Class TokenFilter

java.lang.Object
org.apache.lucene.util.AttributeSource
org.apache.lucene.analysis.TokenStream
org.apache.lucene.analysis.TokenFilter

All Implemented Interfaces:
  `Closeable`, `AutoCloseable`, `Unwrappable<TokenStream>`

Direct Known Subclasses:
  `CachingTokenFilter`, `FilteringTokenFilter`, `GraphTokenFilter`, `LowerCaseFilter`

public abstract class TokenFilter extends TokenStream implements Unwrappable<TokenStream>
A TokenFilter is a TokenStream whose input is another TokenStream.

This is an abstract class; subclasses must override `TokenStream.incrementToken()`.

    protected TokenFilter(TokenStream input)
    Construct a token stream filtering the given input.

- ## Method Details

  - ### end

    public void end() throws IOException
    This method is called by the consumer after the last token has been consumed, after `TokenStream.incrementToken()` returned `false` (using the new `TokenStream` API). Streams implementing the old API should upgrade to use this feature.

    This method can be used to perform any end-of-stream operations, such as setting the final offset of a stream. The final offset of a stream might differ from the offset of the last token eg in case one or more whitespaces followed after the last token, but a WhitespaceTokenizer was used.

    Additionally any skipped positions (such as those removed by a stopfilter) can be applied to the position increment, or any adjustment of other attributes where the end-of-stream value may be important.

    If you override this method, always call `super.end()`.

    NOTE: The default implementation chains the call to the input TokenStream, so be sure to call `super.end()` first when overriding this method.

    Overrides:
      `end` in class `TokenStream`
    Throws:
      `IOException` - If an I/O error occurs

  - ### close

    public void close() throws IOException
    Releases resources associated with this stream.

    If you override this method, always call `super.close()`, otherwise some internal state will not be correctly reset (e.g., `Tokenizer` will throw `IllegalStateException` on reuse).

    NOTE: The default implementation chains the call to the input TokenStream, so be sure to call `super.close()` when overriding this method.

    Specified by:
      `close` in interface `AutoCloseable`
    Specified by:
      `close` in interface `Closeable`
    Overrides:
      `close` in class `TokenStream`
    Throws:
      `IOException`

  - ### reset

    public void reset() throws IOException
    This method is called by a consumer before it begins consumption using `TokenStream.incrementToken()`.

    Resets this stream to a clean state. Stateful implementations must implement this method so that they can be reused, just as if they had been created fresh.

    If you override this method, always call `super.reset()`, otherwise some internal state will not be correctly reset (e.g., `Tokenizer` will throw `IllegalStateException` on further usage).

    NOTE: The default implementation chains the call to the input TokenStream, so be sure to call `super.reset()` when overriding this method.

    Overrides:
      `reset` in class `TokenStream`
    Throws:
      `IOException`

  - ### unwrap

    public TokenStream unwrap()
    Description copied from interface: `Unwrappable`
    Unwraps this instance
    Specified by:
      `unwrap` in interface `Unwrappable<TokenStream>`
