Class FunctionalBoost

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    Boost

    public class FunctionalBoost
    extends Object
    implements Boost
    Represents a functional boost on a search field
    • Constructor Detail

      • FunctionalBoost

        public FunctionalBoost()
    • Method Detail

      • getType

        public Boost.BoostType getType()
        Description copied from interface: Boost
        Type of boost
        Specified by:
        getType in interface Boost
        Returns:
        The boost type
      • getFunction

        public Boost.Function getFunction()
        Type of function to calculate the boost value. Can be linear, exponential, or gaussian. All functions decay rapidly towards 0 after about 2 days because the decay scale is 1 day.
        Returns:
        The function
      • getOperation

        public Boost.Operation getOperation()
        The arithmetic operation used to combine the original document score with your boost value. Can be add or multiply. Defaults to add.
        Returns:
        The operation
      • getFactor

        public BigDecimal getFactor()
        Description copied from interface: Boost
        Alter the impact of a boost on the score of a document. Must be between 0 and 10. Defaults to 1.0. A negative factor or fractional factor will not deboost a result. The factor parameter multiplies the value of the boost but does not significantly affect the decay function scale.
        Specified by:
        getFactor in interface Boost
        Returns:
        The factor
      • getName

        public String getName()
        Description copied from interface: Boost
        The name of the boost
        Specified by:
        getName in interface Boost
        Returns:
        the name
      • setFunction

        public FunctionalBoost setFunction​(Boost.Function function)
        Type of function to calculate the boost value. Can be linear, exponential, or gaussian. All functions decay rapidly towards 0 after about 2 days because the decay scale is 1 day.
        Parameters:
        function - The function to calculate the boost value
        Returns:
        this.
      • setOperation

        public FunctionalBoost setOperation​(Boost.Operation operation)
        The arithmetic operation used to combine the original document score with your boost value. Can be add or multiply. Defaults to add.
        Parameters:
        operation - The operation used to combine the original document with your boost
        Returns:
        this.
      • setFactor

        public FunctionalBoost setFactor​(BigDecimal factor)
        Description copied from interface: Boost
        Alter the impact of a boost on the score of a document. Must be between 0 and 10. Defaults to 1.0. A negative factor or fractional factor will not deboost a result. The factor parameter multiplies the value of the boost but does not significantly affect the decay function scale.
        Specified by:
        setFactor in interface Boost
        Parameters:
        factor - A value between (inclusive) 0.0 and 10.0
        Returns:
        this.
      • setName

        public FunctionalBoost setName​(String name)
        Description copied from interface: Boost
        Set the name of the boost
        Specified by:
        setName in interface Boost
        Parameters:
        name - The boost name
        Returns:
        this.
