## Class SetOnce<T>

- java.lang.Object
- - org.apache.lucene.util.SetOnce<T>

-     public final class SetOnce<T>
      extends Object

  A convenient class which offers a semi-immutable object wrapper implementation which allows one to set the value of an object exactly once, and retrieve it many times. If `set(Object)` is called more than once, `SetOnce.AlreadySetException` is thrown and the operation will fail.
  WARNING: This API is experimental and might change in incompatible ways in the next release.
