Interface Query<T>

  • All Superinterfaces:
    Iterable<T>, PaginationContext<Query<T>>, ParameterContext<Query<T>>

    public interface Query<T>
    extends Iterable<T>, PaginationContext<Query<T>>, ParameterContext<Query<T>>
    An immutable object representing both the query and the result. The result is obtained lazily when one of the methods in this interface is executed first time. The query is executed only once. Further calls will just return the previously cached results. If you intend to re-execute the query to obtain fresh data you need to build another instance using a QueryBuilder.

    • Method Detail

      • getQueryString

        String getQueryString()
        Returns the Ickle query string.
      • list

        @Deprecated
        List<T> list()
        Deprecated.
        since 11.0, use QueryResult.list() instead.
        Returns the results of a search as a list.
        Returns:
        list of objects that were found from the search.
      • execute

        QueryResult<T> execute()
        Executes the query. Subsequent invocations cause the query to be re-executed.
        Returns:
        QueryResult with the results.
        Since:
        11.0
      • getResultSize

        @Deprecated
        int getResultSize()
        Deprecated.
        since 10.1. This will be removed in 12. It's closest replacement is QueryResult.hitCount() which returns an optional long.
        Gets the total number of results matching the query, ignoring pagination (startOffset, maxResults).
        Returns:
        total number of results.
      • getProjection

        @Deprecated
        String[] getProjection()
        Deprecated.
        since 11.0. This method will be removed in next major version. To find out if a query uses projections use hasProjections()
        Returns:
        the values for query projections or null if the query does not have projections.
      • hasProjections

        boolean hasProjections()
        Indicates if the parsed query has projections (a SELECT clause) and consequently the returned results will actually be Object[] containing the projected values rather than the target entity.
        Returns:
        true if it has projections, false otherwise.
      • getStartOffset

        long getStartOffset()
      • getMaxResults

        int getMaxResults()
      • getParameters

        Map<String,​Object> getParameters()
        Returns the named parameters Map.
        Specified by:
        getParameters in interface ParameterContext<T>
        Returns:
        the named parameters (unmodifiable) or null if the query does not have parameters
      • setParameter

        Query<T> setParameter​(String paramName,
                              Object paramValue)
        Sets the value of a named parameter.
        Specified by:
        setParameter in interface ParameterContext<T>
        Parameters:
        paramName - the parameters name (non-empty and not null)
        paramValue - a non-null value
        Returns:
        itself
      • setParameters

        Query<T> setParameters​(Map<String,​Object> paramValues)
        Sets multiple named parameters at once. Parameters names cannot be empty or null. Parameter values must not be null.
        Specified by:
        setParameters in interface ParameterContext<T>
        Parameters:
        paramValues - a Map of parameters
        Returns:
        itself
      • iterator

        CloseableIterator<T> iterator()
        Returns a CloseableIterator over the results. Please close the iterator when you are done with processing the results.
        Returns:
        the results of the query as an iterator.
      • timeout

        Query<T> timeout​(long timeout,
                         TimeUnit timeUnit)
        Set the timeout for this query. If the query hasn't finished processing before the timeout, a SearchTimeoutException will be thrown. For queries that use the index, the timeout is handled on a best effort basis, and the supplied time is rounded to the nearest millisecond.
