  - ### Method Detail

    - #### doSetNextReader

          protected abstract void doSetNextReader(LeafReaderContext context)
                                           throws IOException

      This method is called before collecting `context`.
      Throws:
        `IOException`

    - #### getLeafComparator

          public final LeafFieldComparator getLeafComparator(LeafReaderContext context)
                                                      throws IOException

      Description copied from class: `FieldComparator`
      Get a per-segment `LeafFieldComparator` to collect the given `LeafReaderContext`. All docIDs supplied to this `LeafFieldComparator` are relative to the current reader (you must add docBase if you need to map it to a top-level docID).
      Specified by:
        `getLeafComparator` in class `FieldComparator<T>`
      Parameters:
        `context` - current reader context
      Returns:
        the comparator to use for this segment
      Throws:
        `IOException` - if there is a low-level IO error

    - #### setScorer

          public void setScorer(Scorer scorer)
                         throws IOException

      Description copied from interface: `LeafFieldComparator`
      Sets the Scorer to use in case a document's score is needed.
      Specified by:
        `setScorer` in interface `LeafFieldComparator`
      Parameters:
        `scorer` - Scorer instance that you should use to obtain the current hit's score, if necessary.
      Throws:
        `IOException`
