Hello, For certain span queries I construct problematically by piecing together my own SpanTermQueries I would like to enforce that Payload data is not returned for matches on those specific terms used by the constituent SapnTermQueries.
For exmaple if I search for a position match with a SpanQuery referencing the tokens "_n" and "work" and there is Payload data for each (there needs to be for other types of queries) I would like to be able to screen out the payload data originating from any matched "_n" tokens. I thought for the tokens I am not interested in receiving payload data from I might simply create (anonymously) my own subclass of SpanTermQuery which overrides getSpans and returns another custom class which extends TermSpans but there simply overrides isPayloadAvailable to return false: new SpanTermQuery(new Term(myField, myTokenString)) { public Spans getSpans(IndexReader reader) throws IOException { return new TermSpans(reader.termPositions(term), term) { public boolean isPayloadAvailable() { return false; } }; } }); This however seems to eliminating payload data for all matches though I'm not sure why and am tracing through the code, looking at NearSpansUnordered. Any thoughts? thanks so much, C>T> -- TH!NKMAP Christopher Tignor | Senior Software Architect 155 Spring Street NY, NY 10012 p.212-285-8600 x385 f.212-285-8999
