R2.4 There is much about Lucene that I do not understand, so it may be that there is some simple or obvious mistake I am making. I build an index, get hits (documents) back from it, with various non-zero scores. Now I call this code:
Explanation expl = _searcher.explain(rewrite, docIndex); // always null! And the return value is *ALWAYS* null. The javadocs on explain() do not even mention that possibility. When I debug through the call, I find the "explanation" in this code inside class MarkupContainsQuery (which is the code that gets called): /** * @see Weight#explain(IndexReader, int) */ public Explanation explain(IndexReader reader, int doc) throws IOException { if (reader == null) { throw new IOException("Empty reader in explain method"); } // TODO SY - implement >>>>>>>>> return null; } This seems, um, bad, esp. as I did nothing to *decide* the type of my query, but merely created it from the user-entered string like this: Query query = _parser.parse(queryString); Query rewrite = query.rewrite(_reader); And the field _parser was created like this: Analyzer analyzer = new StandardAnalyzer(); QueryParser parser = new QueryParser("contents", analyzer); _parser XMLFragmentParser(parser); So -- what's the right thing to do? thanks, Paul --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: java-user-unsubscr...@lucene.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: java-user-h...@lucene.apache.org
