Method Detail

getBucketList

public BucketSet getBucketList(String selector)
                        throws ParseException

Get the set of buckets that may contain documents that match the given document selection, as long as the document selection does not result in an unknown set of buckets. If it does, null will be returned. This requires the caller to be aware of the meaning of these return values, but also removes the need for redundant space utilization when dealing with unknown bucket sets.

Parameters:

selector - The document selection string

Returns:

a list of buckets with arbitrary number of location bits set, or, null if the document selection resulted in an unknown set

Throws:

ParseException - if selector couldn't be parsed
