I would like to exclude certain documents from my search and naturally chose to extend Filter.
I'm not too clear on the proper usage of Terms, TermEnum and TermDocs, and though DateFilter has an example of how to implement a Filter, I'm none the wiser on the proper way of filtering. My document objects contain a field (called IDENTIFIER) which I would like to retrieve the value of, in order to compare it a list of allowed values to determine if the document should be excluded. Initially, I tried to implement it by iterating through all documents (reader.doc(i)), then retrieving the value of IDENTIFIER (doc.get(IDENTIFIER)). It works, the trouble is that I've no way of accessing the document number from within IndexReader (which is needed to set the BitSet within the bits() method). It seems to be available from only within TermEnum and TermDocs... Of course, I probably haven't performed the filtering correctly, so would appreciate any help on it...
