6 Search::Xapian::MatchSpy - abstract base class for match spies.
7
9 This is an abstract base class for match spies in Xapian.
10
11 The subclasses will generally accumulate information seen during the
12 match, to calculate aggregate functions, or other profiles of the
13 matching documents.
14
16 operator() <Document> <weight>
17 Virtual - needs to be implemented in extending classes. Registers a
18 document with the match spy.
19
20 This is called by the matcher once with each document seen by the
21 matcher during the match process. Note that the matcher will often
22 not see all the documents which match the query, due to
23 optimisations which allow low-weighted documents to be skipped, and
24 allow the match process to be terminated early.
25
26 get_description
27 Return a string describing this object.
28
29 This default implementation returns a generic answer, to avoid
30 forcing those deriving their own MatchSpy subclasses from having to
31 implement this (they may not care what get_description() gives for
32 their subclass).
33
34 Reimplemented in Xapian::ValueCountMatchSpy.
35
36 name
37 Return the name of this match spy.
38
39 This name is used by the remote backend. It is passed with the
40 serialised parameters to the remote server so that it knows which
41 class to create. Return the full namespace-qualified name of your
42 class here. If you don't want to support the remote backend in your
43 match spy, you can use the default implementation which simply
44 throws Xapian::UnimplementedError.

46 Reimplemented in Xapian::ValueCountMatchSpy.
