## Class GroupSelector<T>

- java.lang.Object
- - org.apache.lucene.search.grouping.GroupSelector<T>

- Type Parameters:
    `T` - the type of the group value
  Direct Known Subclasses:
    DoubleRangeGroupSelector, LongRangeGroupSelector, TermGroupSelector, ValueSourceGroupSelector

      public abstract class GroupSelector<T>
      extends Object

  Defines a group, for use by grouping collectors A GroupSelector acts as an iterator over documents. For each segment, clients should call `setNextReader(LeafReaderContext)`, and then `advanceTo(int)` for each matching document.
