    Modifier and Type | Class and Description
    --- | ---
    `class` | `BaseCompositeReader<R extends IndexReader>` Base class for implementing `CompositeReader`s based on an array of sub-readers.
    `class` | `CodecReader` LeafReader implemented by codec APIs.
    `class` | `CompositeReader` Instances of this reader type can only be used to get stored fields from the underlying LeafReaders, but it is not possible to directly retrieve postings.
    `class` | `DirectoryReader` DirectoryReader is an implementation of `CompositeReader` that can read indexes in a `Directory`.
    `class` | `ExitableDirectoryReader` The `ExitableDirectoryReader` wraps a real index `DirectoryReader` and allows for a `QueryTimeout` implementation object to be checked periodically to see if the thread should exit or not.
    `static class` | `ExitableDirectoryReader.ExitableFilterAtomicReader` Wrapper class for another FilterAtomicReader.
    `class` | `FilterCodecReader` A `FilterCodecReader` contains another CodecReader, which it uses as its basic source of data, possibly transforming the data along the way or providing additional functionality.
    `class` | `FilterDirectoryReader` A FilterDirectoryReader wraps another DirectoryReader, allowing implementations to transform or extend it.
    `class` | `FilterLeafReader` A `FilterLeafReader` contains another LeafReader, which it uses as its basic source of data, possibly transforming the data along the way or providing additional functionality.
    `class` | `LeafReader` `LeafReader` is an abstract class, providing an interface for accessing an index.
    `class` | `MultiReader` A `CompositeReader` which reads multiple indexes, appending their content.
    `class` | `ParallelCompositeReader` An `CompositeReader` which reads multiple, parallel indexes.
    `class` | `ParallelLeafReader` An `LeafReader` which reads multiple, parallel indexes.
    `class` | `SegmentReader` IndexReader implementation over a single segment.
    `class` | `SoftDeletesDirectoryReaderWrapper` This reader filters out documents that have a doc values value in the given field and treat these documents as soft deleted.
    `class` | `StandardDirectoryReader` Default implementation of `DirectoryReader`.
