## Class TokenFilter

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

All Implemented Interfaces:
  Closeable, AutoCloseable

Direct Known Subclasses:
  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`

### Nested Class Summary

### Field Summary

Fields
`protected TokenStream` `input` The source of tokens for this filter.

### Constructor Summary

Constructors
`protected` `TokenFilter(TokenStream input)` Construct a token stream filtering the given input.

### Method Summary

Methods
`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`
