  • Method Details

    • hibernateSearchName

      String hibernateSearchName()
      Returns:
      The name that uniquely identifies this index within the backend. This is the Hibernate Search name; the name of the index on the filesystem or in Elasticsearch may be different (lowercased, with a suffix, ...). See the reference documentation of your backend for more information.

    • root

      IndexCompositeElementDescriptor root()
      Returns:
      A descriptor of the root element of this index.

    • field

      Optional<IndexFieldDescriptor> field(String absolutePath)
      Get a field by its path.

      This method can find static fields as well as dynamic fields, unlike staticFields().

      Parameters:
      absolutePath - An absolute, dot-separated path.
      Returns:
      The corresponding field, or Optional.empty() if no field exists with this path.

    • staticFields

      Collection<IndexFieldDescriptor> staticFields()
      Get all statically-defined fields for this index.

      Only statically-defined fields are returned; fields created dynamically through templates are not included in the collection.

      Returns:
      A collection containing all fields.
