    Modifier and Type | Method and Description
    --- | ---

- - ### Constructor Detail

    - #### BinaryDocValues

          protected BinaryDocValues()

      Sole constructor. (For invocation by subclass constructors, typically implicit.)

  - ### Method Detail

    - #### binaryValue

          public abstract BytesRef binaryValue()
                                        throws IOException

      Returns the binary value for the current document ID. It is illegal to call this method after `advanceExact(int)` returned `false`.
      Returns:
        binary value
      Throws:
        `IOException`

    - #### advanceExact

          public abstract boolean advanceExact(int target)
                                        throws IOException

      Advance the iterator to exactly `target` and return whether `target` has a value. `target` must be greater than or equal to the current `doc ID` and must be a valid doc ID, ie. ≥ 0 and < `maxDoc`. After this method returns, `DocIdSetIterator.docID()` returns `target`.
      Throws:
        `IOException`
