: Maybe modules/nesteddocuments (I think that's more descriptive than : subdocuments)?
either way ... subdocuments has the advantage of being a shorter directory name. i kinda wonder about first impressions and the entomology of "nested" ... it makes me think of bird nests and russion dolls, neither of which really convey the point: nesting in birds is about protecting/incubating and is only a single layer; while russian nesting dolls are singular wrappers arround wrappers arround wrappers. subdocuments seems like it might better because it conveys more of a hierarchical nature (to me anyway). : How about NestedDocumentQuery? And NestedDocumentCollector? : : See, you can use NestedDocumentQuery but collect it with any ordinary : collector if you don't care about the "nesting" (ie, you are only : interested in matches in the parent document space). The : NestedDocumentCollector also collects all the nested docs matching : each parent hit. Hmmm... My suggestion of ParentDocumentQuery was based on the understanding that the simplest usecase was... Query inner = getSomethingThatMatchesSomeChildDocs(); Filter parents = someFilterThatMatcheAllKnownParentDocs() Query outer = new ParentDocumentQuery(inner, parents) TopDocs results = searcher.search(outer) ...and in this case "results" will contain the parents of the child documents that match inner. is that correct? if so, then indepenent of the Collector, "ParentDocumentQuery" (or ParentDocumentQueryWrapper) still seems like it makes the most sense. For the Collector, i realize now that i totally missunderstood it's api -- for some reason i thought it would wrap another Collector and proxy to the inner collector only the parents, independently collecting/recording the groups of parent->children info which could be asked for later. "ChildDocumentsCollector" definitely doesn't make ense -- it's not just collecting children, it's collecting Groups made up of parents and children ... GroupCollector is obviously too general though ... i would toss out "ParentChildrenTopGroupCollector" to make it clear that: a) what you can get out of it are instances of TopGroups b) the Groups consists of Parents and Children ...but that may be trying to convey too much in a classname. I certianly wouldn't complain about NestedDocumentCollector or SubDocumentCollector if people like those better. -Hoss --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@lucene.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@lucene.apache.org
