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

Package org.apache.lucene.index

# Class UpgradeIndexMergePolicy

java.lang.Object
org.apache.lucene.index.MergePolicy
org.apache.lucene.index.FilterMergePolicy
org.apache.lucene.index.UpgradeIndexMergePolicy

All Implemented Interfaces:
  `Unwrappable<MergePolicy>`

public class UpgradeIndexMergePolicy extends FilterMergePolicy
This `MergePolicy` is used for upgrading all existing segments of an index when calling `IndexWriter.forceMerge(int)`. All other methods delegate to the base `MergePolicy` given to the constructor. This allows for an as-cheap-as possible upgrade of an older index by only upgrading segments that are created by previous Lucene versions. forceMerge does no longer really merge; it is just used to "forceMerge" older segment versions away.

In general one would use `IndexUpgrader`, but for a fully customizeable upgrade, you can use this like any other `MergePolicy` and call `IndexWriter.forceMerge(int)`:

      IndexWriterConfig iwc = new IndexWriterConfig(Version.LUCENE_XX, new KeywordAnalyzer());
      iwc.setMergePolicy(new UpgradeIndexMergePolicy(iwc.getMergePolicy()));
      IndexWriter w = new IndexWriter(dir, iwc);
      w.forceMerge(1);
      w.close();

Warning: This merge policy may reorder documents if the index was partially upgraded before calling forceMerge (e.g., documents were added). If your application relies on "monotonicity" of doc IDs (which means that the order in which the documents were added to the index is preserved), do a forceMerge(1) instead. Please note, the delegate `MergePolicy` may also reorder documents.

  Determine what set of merge operations is necessary in order to merge to `<=` the specified segment count.

  `findMerges(MergeTrigger mergeTrigger, SegmentInfos segmentInfos, MergePolicy.MergeContext mergeContext)`
  Determine what set of merge operations are now necessary on the index.

  - ### UpgradeIndexMergePolicy

    public UpgradeIndexMergePolicy(MergePolicy in)
    Wrap the given `MergePolicy` and intercept forceMerge requests to only upgrade segments written with previous Lucene versions.

- ## Method Details

  - ### shouldUpgradeSegment

    protected boolean shouldUpgradeSegment(SegmentCommitInfo si)
    Returns if the given segment should be upgraded. The default implementation will return `!Version.LATEST.equals(si.getVersion())`, so all segments created with a different version number than this Lucene version will get upgraded.

  - ### findMerges

    public MergePolicy.MergeSpecification findMerges(MergeTrigger mergeTrigger, SegmentInfos segmentInfos, MergePolicy.MergeContext mergeContext) throws IOException
    Description copied from class: `MergePolicy`
    Determine what set of merge operations are now necessary on the index. `IndexWriter` calls this whenever there is a change to the segments. This call is always synchronized on the `IndexWriter` instance so only one thread at a time will call this method.
    Overrides:
      `findMerges` in class `FilterMergePolicy`
    Parameters:
      `mergeTrigger` - the event that triggered the merge
      `segmentInfos` - the total set of segments in the index
      `mergeContext` - the IndexWriter to find the merges on
    Throws:
      `IOException`

  - ### findForcedMerges

    public MergePolicy.MergeSpecification findForcedMerges(SegmentInfos segmentInfos, int maxSegmentCount, Map<SegmentCommitInfo,Boolean> segmentsToMerge, MergePolicy.MergeContext mergeContext) throws IOException
    Description copied from class: `MergePolicy`
    Determine what set of merge operations is necessary in order to merge to `<=` the specified segment count. `IndexWriter` calls this when its `IndexWriter.forceMerge(int)` method is called. This call is always synchronized on the `IndexWriter` instance so only one thread at a time will call this method.
    Overrides:
      `findForcedMerges` in class `FilterMergePolicy`
    Parameters:
      `segmentInfos` - the total set of segments in the index
      `maxSegmentCount` - requested maximum number of segments in the index
      `segmentsToMerge` - contains the specific SegmentInfo instances that must be merged away. This may be a subset of all SegmentInfos. If the value is True for a given SegmentInfo, that means this segment was an original segment present in the to-be-merged index; else, it was a segment produced by a cascaded merge.
      `mergeContext` - the MergeContext to find the merges on
    Throws:
      `IOException`
