Class Refiner

java.lang.Object
  org.gcube.indexmanagement.geo.refinement.Refiner

public abstract class Refiner
extends Object

The base class for all Refiners

Field Summary

protected InclusionType	containmentMethod The containment method used in the query
protected GeoIndexType	indexType The index type of the Index using this Refiner
protected boolean	not This flags indicates if we want to return the non-hits instead of the hits
protected Polygon	polygon The query Minimal Bounding Rectangle
protected com.vividsolutions.jts.geom.Envelope	query The query polygon

Constructor Summary

Refiner()

Method Summary

void	init(Polygon polygon, InclusionType containmentMethod, GeoIndexType indexType, boolean not, String[] args) A method called by the GeoIndexResource after creating an instance of a Refiner
protected abstract void	initialize(String[] args) The plugin specific initialization method.
abstract boolean	isHit(DataWrapper entry) A plugin specific method used to determine which index entries are hits according to the given query.
abstract boolean	isIndexTypeCompatible(GeoIndexType indexType) A method used to check if this Refiner plugin is compatible with indices/entries with a specific GeoIndexType
int	refine(List<DataWrapper> entries) A method used to refine a list of GeoIndex entries using a plugin specific isHit(entry) method to determine which entries are valid

Method Detail

init

public final void init(Polygon polygon,
                       InclusionType containmentMethod,
                       GeoIndexType indexType,
                       boolean not,
                       String[] args)
                throws RefinerInitializationException

A method called by the GeoIndexResource after creating an instance of a Refiner

Parameters:

polygon - - A polygon representation of the original query of which this Refiner will refine the results

containmentMethod - - The containment method used in the original query

indexType - - The geo index type of the GeoIndex using this Refiner

args - - Any additional plugin specific initialization arguments.

Throws:

RefinerInitializationException - - An error occurex while initializing the Refiner

refine

public final int refine(List<DataWrapper> entries)

A method used to refine a list of GeoIndex entries using a plugin specific isHit(entry) method to determine which entries are valid

Parameters:

entries - - The list of entries to be refined

Returns:

A refined list only containing entries which a valid according to this refiners isHit(entry) method

initialize

protected abstract void initialize(String[] args)
                            throws RefinerInitializationException

The plugin specific initialization method. Initializes an instance of a Refiner plugin using an array of Strings. All other initialization methods have been completed when this method is called, so it can make use of any of the standard Refiner instance variables.

Parameters:

args - - A plugin specific array of Strings used to initialize a Refiner plugin.

Throws:

RefinerInitializationException - - An error occurex while initializing the Refiner

isIndexTypeCompatible

public abstract boolean isIndexTypeCompatible(GeoIndexType indexType)

A method used to check if this Refiner plugin is compatible with indices/entries with a specific GeoIndexType

Parameters:

indexType - - The GeoIndexType of which to check the compatability with this plugin

Returns:

TRUE if this Refiner plugin is compatible with indices/entries with the specified GeoIndexType

isHit

public abstract boolean isHit(DataWrapper entry)

A plugin specific method used to determine which index entries are hits according to the given query.

Parameters:

entry - - the entry to determine if is a hit.

Returns:

TRUE if the entry is a hit according to the Refiner's query.
