  - ### SimpleNaiveBayesClassifier

    public SimpleNaiveBayesClassifier(IndexReader indexReader, Analyzer analyzer, Query query, String classFieldName, String... textFieldNames)
    Creates a new NaiveBayes classifier.
    Parameters:
      `indexReader` - the reader on the index to be used for classification
      `analyzer` - an `Analyzer` used to analyze unseen text
      `query` - a `Query` to eventually filter the docs used for training the classifier, or `null` if all the indexed docs should be used
      `classFieldName` - the name of the field used as the output for the classifier NOTE: must not be havely analyzed as the returned class will be a token indexed for this field
      `textFieldNames` - the name of the fields used as the inputs for the classifier, NO boosting supported per field

- ## Method Details

  - ### assignClass

    public ClassificationResult<BytesRef> assignClass(String inputDocument) throws IOException
    Description copied from interface: `Classifier`
    Assign a class (with score) to the given text String
    Specified by:
      `assignClass` in interface `Classifier<BytesRef>`
    Parameters:
      `inputDocument` - a String containing text to be classified
    Returns:
      a `ClassificationResult` holding assigned class of type `T` and score
    Throws:
      `IOException` - If there is a low-level I/O error.

  - ### getClasses

    public List<ClassificationResult<BytesRef>> getClasses(String text) throws IOException
