Interface Search

All Known Implementing Classes:

DefaultDocumentStore.DefaultSearch

public interface Search

Fluent interface for building and executing document search queries in Fluxzero.

A Search instance is typically obtained via Fluxzero.search("collectionName") and can be configured using a combination of time-based constraints, field constraints, sorting rules, pagination, and content selection.

The search is only executed when a terminal operation like fetch(...) or stream() is invoked.

Supported operations include:

• Time-based filtering (e.g. since(Instant), inLast(Duration))
• Content-based filtering (e.g. match(Object, String...), query(String, String...))
• Sorting and pagination (e.g. sortByTimestamp(), skip(Integer))
• Aggregation and facets (e.g. aggregate(String...), facetStats())
• Streaming and fetching results (e.g. stream(), fetch(int))

Example usage:

List<MyDocument> results = Fluxzero.search("myCollection")
    .inLast(Duration.ofDays(30))
    .match("searchTerm", "title", "description")
    .sortByTimestamp(true)
    .fetch(50);

Field Details

defaultFetchSize

static final int defaultFetchSize

The default number of records to fetch in a single batch during search operations. Primarily used in streaming and batch-fetching methods to control the size of each data retrieval operation.

A higher value increases the data fetch per operation, potentially reducing the number of retrievals but consuming more memory. A lower value minimizes memory usage but may require more network or database calls for large datasets.
