## org.apache.lucene.index
Class IndexReaderContext

    java.lang.Object
      org.apache.lucene.index.IndexReaderContext

Direct Known Subclasses:
  AtomicReaderContext, CompositeReaderContext

    public abstract class IndexReaderContext

extends Object

A struct like class that represents a hierarchical relationship between `IndexReader` instances.

Field Summary
`int` | `docBaseInParent` the doc base for this reader in the parent, `0` if parent is null
`boolean` | `isTopLevel` `true` if this context struct represents the top level reader within the hierarchical context
`int` | `ordInParent` the ord for this reader in the parent, `0` if parent is null
`CompositeReaderContext` | `parent` The reader context for this reader's immediate parent, or null if none

Method Summary
`abstract List<IndexReaderContext>` | `children()` Returns the context's children iff this context is a composite context otherwise `null`.
`abstract List<AtomicReaderContext>` | `leaves()` Returns the context's leaves if this context is a top-level context.
`abstract IndexReader` | `reader()` Returns the `IndexReader`, this context represents.

Field Detail

### parent

    public final CompositeReaderContext parent

  The reader context for this reader's immediate parent, or null if none

### isTopLevel

    public final boolean isTopLevel

  `true` if this context struct represents the top level reader within the hierarchical context

### docBaseInParent

    public final int docBaseInParent

  the doc base for this reader in the parent, `0` if parent is null

### ordInParent

    public final int ordInParent

  the ord for this reader in the parent, `0` if parent is null

Method Detail

### reader

    public abstract IndexReader reader()

  Returns the `IndexReader`, this context represents.

### leaves

    public abstract List<AtomicReaderContext> leaves()
                                              throws UnsupportedOperationException

  Returns the context's leaves if this context is a top-level context. For convenience, if this is an `AtomicReaderContext` this returns itself as the only leaf.

  Note: this is convenience method since leaves can always be obtained by walking the context tree using `children()`.

  Throws:
    `UnsupportedOperationException` - if this is not a top-level context.
  See Also:
    `children()`

### children

    public abstract List<IndexReaderContext> children()

  Returns the context's children iff this context is a composite context otherwise `null`.
