- - ### Constructor Detail

    - #### MultiPostingsEnum

          public MultiPostingsEnum(MultiTermsEnum parent,
                           int subReaderCount)

      Sole constructor.
      Parameters:
        `parent` - The `MultiTermsEnum` that created us.
        `subReaderCount` - How many sub-readers are being merged.

  - ### Method Detail

    - #### canReuse

          public boolean canReuse(MultiTermsEnum parent)

      Returns `true` if this instance can be reused by the provided `MultiTermsEnum`.

    - #### reset

          public MultiPostingsEnum reset(MultiPostingsEnum.EnumWithSlice[] subs,
                                int numSubs)

      Rre-use and reset this instance on the provided slices.

    - #### getNumSubs

          public int getNumSubs()

      How many sub-readers we are merging.
      See Also:
        `getSubs()`

    - #### getSubs

          public MultiPostingsEnum.EnumWithSlice[] getSubs()

      Returns sub-readers we are merging.

    - #### freq

          public int freq()
                   throws IOException

      Description copied from class: `PostingsEnum`
      Returns term frequency in the current document, or 1 if the field was indexed with `IndexOptions.DOCS`. Do not call this before `DocIdSetIterator.nextDoc()` is first called, nor after `DocIdSetIterator.nextDoc()` returns `DocIdSetIterator.NO_MORE_DOCS`.

      NOTE: if the `PostingsEnum` was obtain with `PostingsEnum.NONE`, the result of this method is undefined.

      Specified by:
        `freq` in class `PostingsEnum`
      Throws:
        `IOException`

    - #### docID

          public int docID()

      Description copied from class: `DocIdSetIterator`
      Returns the following:
      - `-1` if `DocIdSetIterator.nextDoc()` or `DocIdSetIterator.advance(int)` were not called yet.
      - `DocIdSetIterator.NO_MORE_DOCS` if the iterator has exhausted.
      - Otherwise it should return the doc ID it is currently on.

      Specified by:
        `docID` in class `DocIdSetIterator`

    - #### advance

          public int advance(int target)
                      throws IOException

      Description copied from class: `DocIdSetIterator`
      Advances to the first beyond the current whose document number is greater than or equal to target, and returns the document number itself. Exhausts the iterator and returns `DocIdSetIterator.NO_MORE_DOCS` if target is greater than the highest document number in the set.

      The behavior of this method is undefined when called with `target ≤ current`, or after the iterator has exhausted. Both cases may result in unpredicted behavior.

      When `target > current` it behaves as if written:

           int advance(int target) {
             int doc;
             while ((doc = nextDoc()) < target) {
             }
             return doc;
           }

      Some implementations are considerably more efficient than that.

      NOTE: this method may be called with `DocIdSetIterator.NO_MORE_DOCS` for efficiency by some Scorers. If your implementation cannot efficiently determine that it should exhaust, it is recommended that you check for that value in each call to this method.

      Specified by:
        `advance` in class `DocIdSetIterator`
      Throws:
        `IOException`

    - #### nextDoc

          public int nextDoc()
                      throws IOException

      Description copied from class: `DocIdSetIterator`
      Advances to the next document in the set and returns the doc it is currently on, or `DocIdSetIterator.NO_MORE_DOCS` if there are no more docs in the set.
      NOTE: after the iterator has exhausted you should not call this method, as it may result in unpredicted behavior.
      Specified by:
        `nextDoc` in class `DocIdSetIterator`
      Throws:
        `IOException`

    - #### nextPosition

          public int nextPosition()
                           throws IOException

      Description copied from class: `PostingsEnum`
      Returns the next position, or -1 if positions were not indexed. Calling this more than `PostingsEnum.freq()` times is undefined.
      Specified by:
        `nextPosition` in class `PostingsEnum`
      Throws:
        `IOException`

    - #### startOffset

          public int startOffset()
                          throws IOException

      Description copied from class: `PostingsEnum`
      Returns start offset for the current position, or -1 if offsets were not indexed.
      Specified by:
        `startOffset` in class `PostingsEnum`
      Throws:
        `IOException`

    - #### endOffset

          public int endOffset()
                        throws IOException

      Description copied from class: `PostingsEnum`
      Returns end offset for the current position, or -1 if offsets were not indexed.
      Specified by:
        `endOffset` in class `PostingsEnum`
      Throws:
        `IOException`

    - #### getPayload

          public BytesRef getPayload()
                              throws IOException

      Description copied from class: `PostingsEnum`
      Returns the payload at this position, or null if no payload was indexed. You should not modify anything (neither members of the returned BytesRef nor bytes in the byte[]).
      Specified by:
        `getPayload` in class `PostingsEnum`
      Throws:
        `IOException`

    - #### cost

          public long cost()

      Description copied from class: `DocIdSetIterator`
      Returns the estimated cost of this `DocIdSetIterator`.

      This is generally an upper bound of the number of documents this iterator might match, but may be a rough heuristic, hardcoded value, or otherwise completely inaccurate.

      Specified by:
        `cost` in class `DocIdSetIterator`

    - #### toString

          public String toString()

      Overrides:
        `toString` in class `Object`
