        `IOException`

                                           throws IOException

      Look up a key and return possible completion for this key.
      Parameters:
        `key` - lookup key. Depending on the implementation this may be a prefix, misspelling, or even infix.
        `onlyMorePopular` - return only more popular results
        `num` - maximum number of results to return
      Returns:
        a list of possible completions, with their relative weight (e.g. popularity)
      Throws:
        `IOException`

    - #### lookup

          public abstract List<Lookup.LookupResult> lookup(CharSequence key,
                                                           Set<BytesRef> contexts,

      Look up a key and return possible completion for this key.
      Parameters:
        `key` - lookup key. Depending on the implementation this may be a prefix, misspelling, or even infix.
        `contexts` - contexts to filter the lookup by, or null if all contexts are allowed; if the suggestion contains any of the contexts, it's a match
        `onlyMorePopular` - return only more popular results
        `num` - maximum number of results to return
      Returns:
        a list of possible completions, with their relative weight (e.g. popularity)
      Throws:
        `IOException`

    - #### lookup

          public List<Lookup.LookupResult> lookup(CharSequence key,
                                                  BooleanQuery contextFilerQuery,
                                                  int num,
                                                  boolean allTermsRequired,
                                                  boolean doHighlight)
                                           throws IOException

      Look up a key and return possible completion for this key. This needs to be overridden by all implementing classes as the default implementation just returns null
      Parameters:
        `key` - the lookup key
        `contextFilerQuery` - A query for further filtering the result of the key lookup
        `num` - maximum number of results to return
        `allTermsRequired` - true is all terms are required
        `doHighlight` - set to true if key should be highlighted
      Returns:
        a list of suggestions/completions. The default implementation returns null, meaning each @Lookup implementation should override this and provide their own implementation
      Throws:
        `IOException` - when IO exception occurs

    - #### store

          public abstract boolean store(DataOutput output)
                                 throws IOException

      Persist the constructed lookup data to a directory. Optional operation.
      Parameters:
        `output` - `DataOutput` to write the data to.
      Returns:
        true if successful, false if unsuccessful or not supported.
      Throws:
        `IOException` - when fatal IO error occurs.

    - #### load

          public abstract boolean load(DataInput input)
                                throws IOException

      Discard current lookup data and load it from a previously saved copy. Optional operation.
      Parameters:
        `input` - the `DataInput` to load the lookup data.
      Returns:
        true if completed successfully, false if unsuccessful or not supported.
      Throws:
        `IOException` - when fatal IO error occurs.
