  Modifier and Type
  Method
  Description
  `abstract boolean`
  `advanceExact(int target)`
  Advance the iterator to exactly `target` and return whether `target` has a value.
  `abstract BytesRef`
  `binaryValue()`
  Returns the binary value for the current document ID.

- ## Constructor Details

  - ### BinaryDocValues

    protected BinaryDocValues()
    Sole constructor. (For invocation by subclass constructors, typically implicit.)

- ## Method Details

  - ### binaryValue

    public abstract BytesRef binaryValue() throws IOException
    Returns the binary value for the current document ID. It is illegal to call this method after `advanceExact(int)` returned `false`.
    Returns:
      binary value
    Throws:
      `IOException`

  - ### advanceExact

    public abstract boolean advanceExact(int target) throws IOException
    Advance the iterator to exactly `target` and return whether `target` has a value. `target` must be greater than or equal to the current `doc ID` and must be a valid doc ID, ie. ≥ 0 and < `maxDoc`. After this method returns, `DocIdSetIterator.docID()` returns `target`.

    Note: it is illegal to call `DocIdSetIterator.intoBitSet(int, org.apache.lucene.util.FixedBitSet, int)` or `DocIdSetIterator.docIDRunEnd()` when this method returns false.

    Throws:
      `IOException`
