Hi everyone, I'm modifying an existing application, which uses a Lucene SimpleCollector to return document ids and some other fields from a search. For various reasons, we now want to place an upper bound on the number of documents actually collected.
Is there a reasonable way to put a limit on the results returned by a SimpleCollector? Or do I need to change Collectors? Based on the docs, I could keep a counter and raise a CollectionTerminatedException after N documents, but then the search moves on to the next leaf. I'd like to have the entire search terminate and return the collected documents. Any assistance for a Lucene novice is greatly appreciated! -Tod Tod Olson <t...@uchicago.edu<mailto:t...@uchicago.edu>> Systems Librarian Interim Director for Integrated Library Systems University of Chicago Library
