The problem is that I need to be able to match spans resulting from a a
SpanNearQuery with the Term they came from so I can eliminate using Payloads
from certain Terms on a query-by-query basis.
I still need this term to effect the results of a NearSpanQuery as per the
usual logic, I just need to know when iterating over the resulting Spans
that when I hit one originating from a certain Term not to load it's payload
data.
I recently solved the problem fairly simply after doing much research into
the source. When I am building the query and encounter a term I don't want
to recover payload data from, I add my own anonymous sub-type of
SpanTermQuery to my developing SpanNearQuery that itself creates an
anonymous sub-type of SpanTerm which simply returns an empty Collection for
it's payload data.
new SpanTermQuery(new Term(QueryVocabTracker.CONTENT_FIELD, tagToken)) {
@Override
public Spans getSpans(IndexReader reader)
throws IOException {
return new
TermSpans(reader.termPositions(term), term) {
@Override
public Collection getPayload()
throws IOException {
// no payload data for this
TermSpan
return Collections.emptyList();
}
};
}
}
thanks,
