## Class TokenFilter

- java.lang.Object
- - org.apache.lucene.util.AttributeSource
  - - org.apache.lucene.analysis.TokenStream

    CachingTokenFilter

      public abstract class TokenFilter
      extends TokenStream

  A TokenFilter is a TokenStream whose input is another TokenStream.

  This is an abstract class; subclasses must override `TokenStream.incrementToken()`.

    `TokenStream`

    --- | ---
    `void` | `close()` Releases resources associated with this stream.
    `void` | `end()` This method is called by the consumer after the last token has been consumed, after `TokenStream.incrementToken()` returned `false` (using the new `TokenStream` API).
    `void` | `reset()` This method is called by a consumer before it begins consumption using `TokenStream.incrementToken()`.

- - ### Field Detail

    - #### input

          protected final TokenStream input

      The source of tokens for this filter.

  - ### Constructor Detail

    - #### TokenFilter

          protected TokenFilter(TokenStream input)

      Construct a token stream filtering the given input.

  - ### Method Detail

    - #### end

          public void end()
                   throws IOException

      This method is called by the consumer after the last token has been consumed, after `TokenStream.incrementToken()` returned `false` (using the new `TokenStream` API). Streams implementing the old API should upgrade to use this feature.

      This method can be used to perform any end-of-stream operations, such as setting the final offset of a stream. The final offset of a stream might differ from the offset of the last token eg in case one or more whitespaces followed after the last token, but a WhitespaceTokenizer was used.

      NOTE: The default implementation chains the call to the input TokenStream, so be sure to call `super.end()` first when overriding this method.

      Overrides:
        `end` in class `TokenStream`
      Throws:
        `IOException` - If an I/O error occurs

    - #### close

          public void close()
                     throws IOException

      Releases resources associated with this stream.

      NOTE: The default implementation chains the call to the input TokenStream, so be sure to call `super.close()` when overriding this method.

      Specified by:
        `close` in interface `Closeable`
      Specified by:
        `close` in interface `AutoCloseable`
      Overrides:
        `close` in class `TokenStream`
      Throws:
        `IOException`

    - #### reset

          public void reset()
                     throws IOException

      This method is called by a consumer before it begins consumption using `TokenStream.incrementToken()`.

      Resets this stream to a clean state. Stateful implementations must implement this method so that they can be reused, just as if they had been created fresh.

      NOTE: The default implementation chains the call to the input TokenStream, so be sure to call `super.reset()` when overriding this method.

      Overrides:
        `reset` in class `TokenStream`
      Throws:
        `IOException`
