A TokenStream enumerates the sequence of tokens, either from fields of a document or from query text.

This is an abstract class. Concrete subclasses are:

Tokenizer , a TokenStream whose input is a Reader; and
TokenFilter , a TokenStream whose input is another TokenStream.

NOTE: subclasses must override at least one of #next() or #next(Token) .

Method from org.apache.lucene.analysis.TokenStream Summary:
close, next, next, reset

Methods from java.lang.Object:
equals, getClass, hashCode, notify, notifyAll, toString, wait, wait, wait

Method from org.apache.lucene.analysis.TokenStream Detail:
public void close() throws IOException { } Releases resources associated with this stream.
public Token next() throws IOException { Token result = next(new Token()); if (result != null) { Payload p = result.getPayload(); if (p != null) { result.setPayload((Payload) p.clone()); } } return result; } Returns the next token in the stream, or null at EOS. The returned Token is a "full private copy" (not re-used across calls to next()) but will be slower than calling #next(Token) instead..
public Token next(Token result) throws IOException { return next(); } Returns the next token in the stream, or null at EOS. When possible, the input Token should be used as the returned Token (this gives fastest tokenization performance), but this is not required and a new Token may be returned. Callers may re-use a single Token instance for successive calls to this method. This implicitly defines a "contract" between consumers (callers of this method) and producers (implementations of this method that are the source for tokens): A consumer must fully consume the previously returned Token before calling this method again. A producer must call Token#clear() before setting the fields in it & returning it Note that a TokenFilter is considered a consumer.
public void reset() throws IOException { } Resets this stream to the beginning. This is an optional operation, so subclasses may or may not implement this method. Reset() is not needed for the standard indexing process. However, if the Tokens of a TokenStream are intended to be consumed more than once, it is necessary to implement reset().

Method from org.apache.lucene.analysis.TokenStream Detail:

 public  void close() throws IOException {

}

Releases resources associated with this stream.

 public Token next() throws IOException {
    Token result = next(new Token());
    if (result != null) {
      Payload p = result.getPayload();
      if (p != null) {
        result.setPayload((Payload) p.clone());
      }
    }
    return result;
}

#next(Token)

 public Token next(Token result) throws IOException {
    return next();
}

This implicitly defines a "contract" between consumers (callers of this method) and producers (implementations of this method that are the source for tokens):

A consumer must fully consume the previously returned Token before calling this method again.
A producer must call Token#clear() before setting the fields in it & returning it

TokenFilter

 public  void reset() throws IOException {

}

Resets this stream to the beginning. This is an optional operation, so subclasses may or may not implement this method. Reset() is not needed for the standard indexing process. However, if the Tokens of a TokenStream are intended to be consumed more than once, it is necessary to implement reset().
