## Class NRTSuggester

- java.lang.Object
- - org.apache.lucene.search.suggest.document.NRTSuggester

- All Implemented Interfaces:
    Accountable

      public final class NRTSuggester
      extends Object
      implements Accountable

  NRTSuggester executes Top N search on a weighted FST specified by a `CompletionScorer`

  See `lookup(CompletionScorer, Bits, TopSuggestDocsCollector)` for more implementation details.

  FST Format:

  - Input: analyzed forms of input terms
  - Output: Pair<Long, BytesRef> containing weight, surface form and docID

  NOTE:

  - having too many deletions or using a very restrictive filter can make the search inadmissible due to over-pruning of potential paths. See `CompletionScorer.accept(int, Bits)`
  - when matched documents are arbitrarily filtered (`CompletionScorer.filtered` set to `true`, it is assumed that the filter will roughly filter out half the number of documents that match the provided automaton
  - lookup performance will degrade as more accepted completions lead to filtered out documents
  WARNING: This API is experimental and might change in incompatible ways in the next release.

    Modifier and Type | Method and Description
    --- | ---
    `Collection<Accountable>` | `getChildResources()`
    `static NRTSuggester` | `load(IndexInput input)` Loads a `NRTSuggester` from `IndexInput`
    `void` | `lookup(CompletionScorer scorer, Bits acceptDocs, TopSuggestDocsCollector collector)` Collects at most `TopSuggestDocsCollector.getCountToCollect()` completions that match the provided `CompletionScorer`.

- - ### Method Detail

    - #### ramBytesUsed

          public long ramBytesUsed()

      Specified by:
        `ramBytesUsed` in interface `Accountable`

    - #### getChildResources

          public Collection<Accountable> getChildResources()

      Specified by:
        `getChildResources` in interface `Accountable`

    - #### lookup

          public void lookup(CompletionScorer scorer,
                             Bits acceptDocs,
                             TopSuggestDocsCollector collector)
                      throws IOException

      Collects at most `TopSuggestDocsCollector.getCountToCollect()` completions that match the provided `CompletionScorer`.

      The `CompletionScorer.automaton` is intersected with the `fst`. `CompletionScorer.weight` is used to compute boosts and/or extract context for each matched partial paths. A top N search is executed on `fst` seeded with the matched partial paths. Upon reaching a completed path, `CompletionScorer.accept(int, Bits)` and `CompletionScorer.score(float, float)` is used on the document id, index weight and query boost to filter and score the entry, before being collected via `TopSuggestDocsCollector.collect(int, CharSequence, CharSequence, float)`

      Throws:
        `IOException`

    - #### load

          public static NRTSuggester load(IndexInput input)
                                   throws IOException

      Loads a `NRTSuggester` from `IndexInput`
      Throws:
        `IOException`
