NAME

SWISH::Prog::Indexer - base indexer class

SYNOPSIS

 use SWISH::Prog::Indexer;
 my $indexer = SWISH::Prog::Indexer->new(
        invindex    => SWISH::Prog::InvIndex->new,
        config      => SWISH::Prog::Config->new,
        count       => 0,
        clobber     => 1,
        flush       => 10000,
        started     => time()
 );
 $indexer->start;
 for my $doc (@list_of_docs) {
    $indexer->process($doc);
 }
 $indexer->finish;
 

DESCRIPTION

SWISH::Prog::Indexer is a base class implementing the simplest of indexing APIs. It is intended to be subclassed, along with InvIndex, for each IR backend library.

METHODS

new( params )

Constructor. See the SYNOPSIS for default options.

start

Opens the invindex() objet and sets the started() time to time().

process( doc )

doc should be a SWISH::Prog::Doc-derived object.

process() should implement whatever the particular IR library API requires.

finish

Closes the invindex().
