Detailed Description

Xapian::Weight subclass implementing Coordinate Matching.

Each matching term scores one point. See Managing Gigabytes, Second Edition p181.

Member Function Documentation

◆ clone()

CoordWeight * Xapian::CoordWeight::clone ( ) const

virtual

Clone this object.

This method allocates and returns a copy of the object it is called on.

If your subclass is called FooWeight and has parameters a and b, then you would implement FooWeight::clone() like so:

FooWeight * FooWeight::clone() const { return new FooWeight(a, b); }

Note that the returned object will be deallocated by Xapian after use with "delete". If you want to handle the deletion in a special way (for example when wrapping the Xapian API for use from another language) then you can define a static operator delete method in your subclass as shown here: https://trac.xapian.org/ticket/554#comment:1

Implements Xapian::Weight.

References CoordWeight().

◆ create_from_parameters()

CoordWeight * Xapian::CoordWeight::create_from_parameters ( const char * params ) const

virtual

Create from a human-readable parameter string.

Parameters

params string containing weighting scheme parameter values.

Since: 2.0.0

Reimplemented from Xapian::Weight.

References CoordWeight().

◆ get_maxpart()

double Xapian::CoordWeight::get_maxpart ( ) const

virtual

Return an upper bound on what get_sumpart() can return for any document.

This information is used by the matcher to perform various optimisations, so strive to make the bound as tight as possible.

Implements Xapian::Weight.

◆ get_sumpart()

double Xapian::CoordWeight::get_sumpart	(	Xapian::termcount	wdf,
		Xapian::termcount	doclen,
		Xapian::termcount	uniqterms,
		Xapian::termcount	wdfdocmax ) const

virtual

Calculate the weight contribution for this object's term to a document.

The parameters give information about the document which may be used in the calculations:

Parameters

wdf	The within document frequency of the term in the document. You need to call need_stat(WDF) if you use this value.
doclen	The document's length (unnormalised). You need to call need_stat(DOC_LENGTH) if you use this value.
uniqterms	Number of unique terms in the document. You need to call need_stat(UNIQUE_TERMS) if you use this value.
wdfdocmax	Maximum wdf value in the document. You need to call need_stat(WDF_DOC_MAX) if you use this value.

You can rely of wdf <= doclen if you call both need_stat(WDF) and need_stat(DOC_LENGTH) - this is trivially true for terms, but Xapian also ensure it's true for OP_SYNONYM, where the wdf is approximated.

Since: The wdfdocmax parameter was added in Xapian 2.0.0.

Implements Xapian::Weight.

◆ init()

void Xapian::CoordWeight::init ( double factor )

virtual

Allow the subclass to perform any initialisation it needs to.

Parameters

factor Any scaling factor (e.g. from OP_SCALE_WEIGHT). If the Weight object is for the term-independent weight supplied by get_sumextra()/get_maxextra(), then init(0.0) is called (starting from Xapian 1.2.11 and 1.3.1 - earlier versions failed to call init() for such Weight objects).

Implements Xapian::Weight.

◆ name()

std::string Xapian::CoordWeight::name ( ) const

virtual

Return the name of this weighting scheme, e.g.

"bm25+".

This is the name that the weighting scheme gets registered under when passed to Xapian:Registry::register_weighting_scheme().

As a result:

this is the name that needs to be used in Weight::create() to create a Weight object from a human-readable string description.
it is also used by the remote backend where it is sent (along with the serialised parameters) to the remote server so that it knows which class to create.

For 1.4.x and earlier we recommended returning the full namespace-qualified name of your class here, but now we recommend returning a just the name in lower case, e.g. "foo" instead of "FooWeight", "bm25+" instead of "Xapian::BM25PlusWeight".

If you don't want to support creation via Weight::create() or the remote backend, you can use the default implementation which simply returns an empty string.

Reimplemented from Xapian::Weight.

◆ serialise()

std::string Xapian::CoordWeight::serialise ( ) const

virtual

Return this object's parameters serialised as a single string.

If you don't want to support the remote backend, you can use the default implementation which simply throws Xapian::UnimplementedError.

Reimplemented from Xapian::Weight.

◆ unserialise()

CoordWeight * Xapian::CoordWeight::unserialise ( const std::string & serialised ) const

virtual

Unserialise parameters.

This method unserialises parameters serialised by the serialise() method and allocates and returns a new object initialised with them.

If you don't want to support the remote backend, you can use the default implementation which simply throws Xapian::UnimplementedError.

Note that the returned object will be deallocated by Xapian after use with "delete". If you want to handle the deletion in a special way (for example when wrapping the Xapian API for use from another language) then you can define a static operator delete method in your subclass as shown here: https://trac.xapian.org/ticket/554#comment:1

Parameters

serialised A string containing the serialised parameters.

Reimplemented from Xapian::Weight.
