Constructor Detail

RangeFilter

public RangeFilter(String fieldName,
                   String lowerTerm,
                   String upperTerm,
                   boolean includeLower,
                   boolean includeUpper)
Parameters:
fieldName - The field this range applies to
lowerTerm - The lower bound on this range
upperTerm - The upper bound on this range
includeLower - Does this range include the lower bound?
includeUpper - Does this range include the upper bound?
Throws:
IllegalArgumentException - if both terms are null or if lowerTerm is null and includeLower is true (similar for upperTerm and includeUpper)

Less

public static RangeFilter Less(String fieldName,
                               String upperTerm)

More

public static RangeFilter More(String fieldName,
                               String lowerTerm)
Constructs a filter for field fieldName matching greater than or equal to lowerTerm.
