Class IdentityDocumentalStrategy

java.lang.Object
  it.unimi.di.mg4j.index.cluster.IdentityDocumentalStrategy

All Implemented Interfaces:

ClusteringStrategy, DocumentalClusteringStrategy, Serializable

public class IdentityDocumentalStrategy
extends Object
implements DocumentalClusteringStrategy, Serializable

A documental strategy that maps identically local to global pointers and viceversa.

When clustering a posteriory a set of previously built renumbered indices using a DocumentalMergedCluster, local document pointers are actually global document pointers. In this case, an instance of this class should be used as a strategy for the cluster.
