[jira] Created: (LUCENE-1001) Add Payload retrieval to Spans

Add Payload retrieval to Spans
------------------------------

Key: LUCENE-1001
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-1001
Project: Lucene - Java
Issue Type: New Feature
Components: Search
Reporter: Grant Ingersoll
Assignee: Grant Ingersoll
Priority: Minor


It will be nice to have access to payloads when doing SpanQuerys.

See http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/lucene/java-dev/52270 and http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/lucene/java-dev/51134

Current API, added to Spans.java is below. I will try to post a patch as soon as I can figure out how to make it work for unordered spans (I believe I have all the other cases working).


/**
* Returns the payload data for the current span.
* This is invalid until {@link #next()} is called for
* the first time.
* This method must not be called more than once after each call
* of {@link #next()}. However, payloads are loaded lazily,
* so if the payload data for the current position is not needed,
* this method may not be called at all for performance reasons.<br>
* <br>
* <p><font color="#FF0000">
* WARNING: The status of the <b>Payloads</b> feature is experimental.
* The APIs introduced here might change in the future and will not be
* supported anymore in such a case.</font>
*
* @return a List of byte arrays containing the data of this payload
* @throws IOException
*/
// TODO: Remove warning after API has been finalized
List/*<byte[]>*/ getPayload() throws IOException;

/**
* Checks if a payload can be loaded at this position.
* <p/>
* Payloads can only be loaded once per call to
* {@link #next()}.
* <p/>
* <p><font color="#FF0000">
* WARNING: The status of the <b>Payloads</b> feature is experimental.
* The APIs introduced here might change in the future and will not be
* supported anymore in such a case.</font>
*
* @return true if there is a payload available at this position that can be loaded
*/
// TODO: Remove warning after API has been finalized
public boolean isPayloadAvailable();
