Interface Index

    public interface Index

An Index allows synchronous and asynchronous adding and deleting of `Documents` as well as synchronous and asynchronous searching for Documents for a given `Query`. The following code fragment shows how to add documents, then search the index for documents matching a query.

      // Get the SearchService for the default namespace
      SearchService searchService = SearchServiceFactory.getSearchService();
      // Get the index. If not yet created, create it.
      Index index = searchService.getIndex(
          IndexSpec.newBuilder()
              .setIndexName("indexName")
              .setConsistency(Consistency.PER_DOCUMENT));

      // Create a document.
      Document document = Document.newBuilder()
          .setId("documentId")
          .addField(Field.newBuilder().setName("subject").setText("my first email"))
          .addField(Field.newBuilder().setName("body")
               .setHTML("<html>some content here</html>")
          .build();

      // Add the document.
      try {
        index.add(document);
      } catch (AddException e) {
        if (StatusCode.TRANSIENT_ERROR.equals(e.getOperationResult().getCode())) {
          // retry adding document
        }
      }

      // Query the index.
      try {
        Results<ScoredDocument> results =
            index.search(Query.newBuilder().build("subject:first body:here"));

        // Iterate through the search results.
        for (ScoredDocument document : results) {
          // display results
        }
      } catch (SearchException e) {
        if (StatusCode.TRANSIENT_ERROR.equals(e.getOperationResult().getCode())) {
          // retry
        }
      }

### remove

    void remove(java.lang.String... documentIds)

  Delete documents for the given document ids from the index if they are in the index.

  Parameters:
    `documentIds` - the ids of documents to remove
  Throws:
    `RemoveException` - if there is a failure in the search service deleting documents
    `java.lang.IllegalArgumentException` - if some document id is invalid

### remove

    void remove(java.lang.Iterable<java.lang.String> documentIds)

  See Also:
    `#remove(String...)}`

### add

    AddResponse add(Document... documents)

  Add the documents to the index, updating any document that is already present.

  Parameters:
    `documents` - the documents to add to the index
  Returns:
    an `AddResponse` containing the result of the add operations indicating success or failure as well as the document ids. The search service will allocate document ids for documents which have none provided

### search

    Results<ScoredDocument> search(Query query)

  Search the index for documents matching the query. The query must specify a query string, and optionally, how many documents are requested, how the results are to be sorted, scored and which fields are to be returned.

  Parameters:
    `query` - the fully specified `Query` object
  Returns:
    a `Results` containing `ScoredDocuments`
  Throws:
    `java.lang.IllegalArgumentException` - if the query is invalid
