## Class ToParentBlockJoinQuery

- java.lang.Object
- - org.apache.lucene.search.Query
  - - org.apache.lucene.search.join.ToParentBlockJoinQuery

-     public class ToParentBlockJoinQuery
      extends Query

  This query requires that you index children and parent docs as a single block, using the `IndexWriter.addDocuments()` or `IndexWriter.updateDocuments()` API. In each block, the child documents must appear first, ending with the parent document. At search time you provide a Filter identifying the parents, however this Filter must provide an `BitSet` per sub-reader.

  Once the block index is built, use this query to wrap any sub-query matching only child docs and join matches in that child document space up to the parent document space. You can then use this Query as a clause with other queries in the parent document space.

  See `ToChildBlockJoinQuery` if you need to join in the reverse order.

  The child documents must be orthogonal to the parent documents: the wrapped child query must never return a parent document.

  See `org.apache.lucene.search.join` for an overview.

  WARNING: This API is experimental and might change in incompatible ways in the next release.
