## Class MinDocIterator

- java.lang.Object
- - org.apache.lucene.search.DocIdSetIterator
  - - org.apache.lucene.search.comparators.MinDocIterator

-     public class MinDocIterator
      extends DocIdSetIterator

  Docs iterator that starts iterating from a configurable minimum document

- - ### Field Summary

    - ### Fields inherited from class org.apache.lucene.search.DocIdSetIterator

      `NO_MORE_DOCS`

  - ### Method Summary

    All Methods Instance Methods Concrete Methods
    Modifier and Type | Method and Description
    --- | ---
    `int` | `advance(int target)` Advances to the first beyond the current whose document number is greater than or equal to target, and returns the document number itself.
    `long` | `cost()` Returns the estimated cost of this `DocIdSetIterator`.
    `int` | `docID()` Returns the following: `-1` if `DocIdSetIterator.nextDoc()` or `DocIdSetIterator.advance(int)` were not called yet.
    `int` | `nextDoc()` Advances to the next document in the set and returns the doc it is currently on, or `DocIdSetIterator.NO_MORE_DOCS` if there are no more docs in the set. NOTE: after the iterator has exhausted you should not call this method, as it may result in unpredicted behavior.

    - #### docID

          public int docID()

      Description copied from class: `DocIdSetIterator`
      Returns the following:
      - `-1` if `DocIdSetIterator.nextDoc()` or `DocIdSetIterator.advance(int)` were not called yet.
      - `DocIdSetIterator.NO_MORE_DOCS` if the iterator has exhausted.
      - Otherwise it should return the doc ID it is currently on.

      Specified by:
        `docID` in class `DocIdSetIterator`

    - #### nextDoc

          public int nextDoc()
                      throws IOException

      Description copied from class: `DocIdSetIterator`
      Advances to the next document in the set and returns the doc it is currently on, or `DocIdSetIterator.NO_MORE_DOCS` if there are no more docs in the set.
      NOTE: after the iterator has exhausted you should not call this method, as it may result in unpredicted behavior.
      Specified by:
        `nextDoc` in class `DocIdSetIterator`
      Throws:
        `IOException`

    - #### advance

          public int advance(int target)
                      throws IOException

      Description copied from class: `DocIdSetIterator`
      Advances to the first beyond the current whose document number is greater than or equal to target, and returns the document number itself. Exhausts the iterator and returns `DocIdSetIterator.NO_MORE_DOCS` if target is greater than the highest document number in the set.

      The behavior of this method is undefined when called with `target ≤ current`, or after the iterator has exhausted. Both cases may result in unpredicted behavior.

      When `target > current` it behaves as if written:

           int advance(int target) {
             int doc;
             while ((doc = nextDoc()) < target) {
             }
             return doc;
           }

      Some implementations are considerably more efficient than that.

      NOTE: this method may be called with `DocIdSetIterator.NO_MORE_DOCS` for efficiency by some Scorers. If your implementation cannot efficiently determine that it should exhaust, it is recommended that you check for that value in each call to this method.

      Specified by:
        `advance` in class `DocIdSetIterator`
      Throws:
        `IOException`

    - #### cost

          public long cost()

      Description copied from class: `DocIdSetIterator`
      Returns the estimated cost of this `DocIdSetIterator`.

      This is generally an upper bound of the number of documents this iterator might match, but may be a rough heuristic, hardcoded value, or otherwise completely inaccurate.

      Specified by:
        `cost` in class `DocIdSetIterator`
