This document defines the index file formats used

2004-02-28 21:43:36 -05:00
|
|

in Lucene version 1.4.

Jakarta Lucene is written in Java, but several
|
|
|
|
|
efforts are underway to write versions of Lucene in other programming
|
|
|
|
|
languages. If these versions are to remain compatible with Jakarta
|
|
|
|
|
Lucene, then a language-independent definition of the Lucene index
|
|
|
|
|
format is required. This document thus attempts to provide a
|
|
|
|
|
complete and independent definition of the Jakarta Lucene 1.3 file
|
|
|
|
|
formats.
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
2004-03-29 07:46:36 -05:00
|
|
|
As Lucene evolves, this document should evolve.
|
2002-10-30 13:56:46 -05:00
|
|
|
Versions of Lucene in different programming languages should endeavor
|
|
|
|
|
to agree on file formats, and generate new versions of this document.
|
|
|
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
|
|
Compatibility notes are provided in this document,
|
|
|
|
|
describing how file formats have changed from prior versions.

The fundamental concepts in Lucene are index,

|
|
|
document, field and term.
|
|
|
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
|
<p>

An index contains a sequence of documents.

<ul>
|
|
|
|
|
<li>
|

A document is a sequence of fields.
|
|
|
|
|
</p>
|

|
|
|
|
|
|

<li>
|

<p>
|
|
|
|
|
A field is a named sequence of terms.
|
|
|
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
|
</li>
|
|
|
|
|
|

A term is a string.

</ul>
|
|
|
|
|
<p>
|

|
|
The same string in two different fields is
|
|
|
|
|
considered a different term. Thus terms are represented as a pair of
|
|
|
|
|
strings, the first naming the field, and the second naming text
|
|
|
|
|
within the field.

The index stores statistics about terms in order

to make term-based search more efficient. Lucene's
|
|
|
|
|
index falls into the family of indexes known as an <i>inverted
|
|
|
|
|
index.</i> This is because it can list, for a term, the documents that contain
|
|
|
|
|
it. This is the inverse of the natural relationship, in which
|
|
|
|
|
documents list terms.

case their text is stored in the index literally, in a non-inverted

manner. Fields that are inverted are called <i>indexed</i>. A field

Most fields are

tokenized, but sometimes it is useful for certain identifier fields

Internally, Lucene refers to documents by an integer <i>document
|
|
|
|
|
number</i>. The first document added to an index is numbered zero, and each
|
|
|
|
|
subsequent document added gets a number one greater than the previous.
|
|
|
|
|
</p>

|
Note that a document's number may change, so caution should be taken
|
|
|
|
|
when storing these numbers outside of Lucene. In particular, numbers may
|
|
|
|
|
change in the following situations:
|
|
|
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
|
<ul>

|
<li>
|

<p>
|
|
|
|
|
The
|
|
|
|
|
numbers stored in each segment are unique only within the segment,
|
|
|
|
|
and must be converted before they can be used in a larger context.
|
|
|
|
|
The standard technique is to allocate each segment a range of
|
|
|
|
|
values, based on the range of numbers used in that segment. To
|
|
|
|
|
convert a document number from a segment to an external value, the
|
|
|
|
|
segment's <i>base</i> document
|
|
|
|
|
number is added. To convert an external value back to a
|
|
|
|
|
segment-specific value, the segment is identified by the range that
|
|
|
|
|
the external value is in, and the segment's base value is
|
|
|
|
|
subtracted. For example two five document segments might be
|
|
|
|
|
combined, so that the first segment has a base value of zero, and
|
|
|
|
|
the second of five. Document three from the second segment would
|
|
|
|
|
have an external value of eight.
|
|
|
|
|
</p>
|
|
|

|
</li>
|
|
|
|
|
<li>
|
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
|
|
When documents are deleted, gaps are created
|
|
|
|
|
in the numbering. These are eventually removed as the index evolves
|
|
|
|
|
through merging. Deleted documents are dropped when segments are
|
|
|
|
|
merged. A freshly-merged segment thus has no gaps in its numbering.

A variable-length format for positive integers is
|
|
|
|
|
defined where the high-order bit of each byte indicates whether more
|
|
|
|
|
bytes remain to be read. The low-order seven bits are appended as
|
|
|
|
|
increasingly more significant bits in the resulting integer value.
|
|
|
|
|
Thus values from zero to 127 may be stored in a single byte, values
|
|
|
|
|
from 128 to 16,383 may be stored in two bytes, and so on.

Fields are numbered by their order in this file. Thus field zero is

the

first field in the file, field one the next, and so on. Note that,

like document numbers, field numbers are segment relative.

<p>DocSkip records the document number before every

Document numbers are represented as differences

and ProxSkip record the position of every

<p>For example, if TermCount=35 and SkipInterval=16,

then there are two SkipData entries, containing

|
the 15<sup>th</sup> and 31<sup>st</sup> document

|
|
numbers in TermFreqs. The first FreqSkip names

|
the number of bytes after the beginning of

|
|
|
|
TermFreqs that the 16<sup>th</sup> SkipDatum
|
|
|
|
|
starts, and the second the number of bytes after
|
|
|
|
|
that that the 32<sup>nd</sup> starts. The first
|
|
|
|
|
ProxSkip names the number of bytes after the
|
|
|
|
|
beginning of Positions that the 16<sup>th</sup>
|
|
|
|
|
SkipDatum starts, and the second the number of

<p>PositionDelta
|

is the difference between the position of the current occurrence in

the document and the previous occurrence (or zero, if this is the

first occurrence in this document).

For example, the TermPositions for a
|
|
|
|
|
term which occurs as the fourth term in one document, and as the
|
|
|
|
|
fifth and ninth term in a subsequent document, would be the following

sequence of VInts:

probably will be. These should therefore be replaced with either

it after the rest of the file has been written. So unless this is
