[[indexing_querying]]
=  Indexing and Querying

== Overview

{brandname} supports indexing and searching of Java Pojo(s) or objects encoded via link:https://developers.google.com/protocol-buffers/[Protocol Buffers]
stored in the grid using powerful search APIs which complement its main Map-like API.

Querying is possible both in link:#query_library[library] and link:#query_remote[client/server mode] (for Java, C#, Node.js and other clients), and {brandname} can index data
using link:http://lucene.apache.org/[Apache Lucene], offering an efficient link:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Full-text_search[full-text]
capable search engine in order to cover a wide range of data retrieval use cases.

Indexing configuration relies on a schema definition, and for that {brandname} can use annotated Java classes when in library mode,
and protobuf schemas for remote clients written in other languages. By standardizing on protobuf, {brandname} allows full interoperability
between Java and non-Java clients.

Apart from indexed queries, {brandname} can run queries over non-indexed or
partially indexed data.

In terms of Search APIs, {brandname} has its own query language called _link:#query_ickle[Ickle]_, which is string-based and adds support for full-text
querying. The link:#query_dsl[Query DSL] can be used for both embedded and remote java clients when full-text is not required; for Java embedded clients
{brandname} offers the link:#query_hibernatesearch[Hibernate Search Query API] which supports running Lucene queries in the grid, apart from advanced search capabilities
like Faceted and Spatial search.

Finally, {brandname} has support for link:#query_continuous[Continuous Queries], which works in a reverse manner to the other APIs: instead of creating, executing a query
and obtain results, it allows a client to register queries that will be evaluated continuously as data in the cluster changes, generating notifications
whenever the changed data matches the queries.

[[query_library]]
== Embedded Querying

Embedded querying is available when {brandname} is used as a library. No protobuf mapping is required, and both indexing and searching
are done on top of Java objects. When in library mode, it is possible to run Lucene queries directly and use all the available link:#query_apis[Query APIs] and it also allows flexible indexing configurations to keep latency to a minimal.

=== Quick example

We're going to store _Book_ instances in an {brandname} cache called "books". _Book_ instances will be indexed, so we enable indexing for the cache,
letting {brandname} link:#query_autoconfig[configure the indexing automatically]:

{brandname} configuration:

.infinispan.xml
[source,xml,options="nowrap",subs=attributes+]
----
include::config_examples/infinispan_distributed_cache_books.xml[]
----

Obtaining the cache:

[source,java]
----
import org.infinispan.Cache;
import org.infinispan.manager.DefaultCacheManager;
import org.infinispan.manager.EmbeddedCacheManager;

EmbeddedCacheManager manager = new DefaultCacheManager("infinispan.xml");
Cache<String, Book> cache = manager.getCache("books");

----

Each _Book_ will be defined as in the following example; we have to choose which properties are indexed, and for each property we can optionally choose advanced indexing options using the annotations defined in the Hibernate Search project.

[source,java]
.Book.java
----
import org.hibernate.search.annotations.*;
import java.util.Date;
import java.util.HashSet;
import java.util.Set;

//Values you want to index need to be annotated with @Indexed, then you pick which fields and how they are to be indexed:
@Indexed
public class Book {
   @Field String title;
   @Field String description;
   @Field @DateBridge(resolution=Resolution.YEAR) Date publicationYear;
   @IndexedEmbedded Set<Author> authors = new HashSet<Author>();
}

----

[source,java]
.Author.java
----

public class Author {
   @Field String name;
   @Field String surname;
   // hashCode() and equals() omitted
}

----

Now assuming we stored several _Book_ instances in our {brandname} _Cache_ , we can search them for any matching field as in the following example.

Using a Lucene Query:

[source,java]
----
// get the search manager from the cache:
SearchManager searchManager = org.infinispan.query.Search.getSearchManager(cache);

// create any standard Lucene query, via Lucene's QueryParser or any other means:
org.apache.lucene.search.Query fullTextQuery = //any Apache Lucene Query

// convert the Lucene query to a CacheQuery:
CacheQuery cacheQuery = searchManager.getQuery( fullTextQuery );

// get the results:
List<Object> found = cacheQuery.list();

----

A Lucene Query is often created by parsing a query in text format such as "title:infinispan AND authors.name:sanne", or by using the query builder provided by Hibernate Search.

[source,java]
----
// get the search manager from the cache:
SearchManager searchManager = org.infinispan.query.Search.getSearchManager( cache );

// you could make the queries via Lucene APIs, or use some helpers:
QueryBuilder queryBuilder = searchManager.buildQueryBuilderForClass(Book.class).get();

// the queryBuilder has a nice fluent API which guides you through all options.
// this has some knowledge about your object, for example which Analyzers
// need to be applied, but the output is a fairly standard Lucene Query.
org.apache.lucene.search.Query luceneQuery = queryBuilder.phrase()
                  .onField("description")
                  .andField("title")
                  .sentence("a book on highly scalable query engines")
                  .createQuery();

// the query API itself accepts any Lucene Query, and on top of that
// you can restrict the result to selected class types:
CacheQuery query = searchManager.getQuery(luceneQuery, Book.class);

// and there are your results!
List objectList = query.list();

for (Object book : objectList) {
      System.out.println(book);
}

----
Apart from _list()_ you have the option for streaming results, or use pagination.


For searches that do not require Lucene or full-text capabilities and are mostly about aggregation and exact matches, we can use the {brandname} Query DSL API:

[source,java]
----
import org.infinispan.query.dsl.QueryFactory;
import org.infinispan.query.dsl.Query;
import org.infinispan.query.Search;

// get the query factory:
QueryFactory queryFactory = Search.getQueryFactory(cache);

Query q = queryFactory.from(Book.class)
            .having("author.surname").eq("King")
            .build();

List<Book> list = q.list();

----

Finally, we can use an link:#query_ickle[Ickle] query directly, allowing for Lucene syntax in one or more predicates:

[source,java]
----
import org.infinispan.query.dsl.QueryFactory;
import org.infinispan.query.dsl.Query;

// get the query factory:
QueryFactory queryFactory = Search.getQueryFactory(cache);


Query q = queryFactory.create("from Book b where b.author.name = 'Stephen' and " +
                "b.description : (+'dark' -'tower')");

List<Book> list = q.list();

----

=== Indexing

Indexing in {brandname} happens on a per-cache basis and by default a cache is not indexed. Enabling indexing is not mandatory but queries using an index will
have a vastly superior performance. On the other hand, enabling indexing can impact negatively the write throughput of a cluster, so make sure to check the link:#query_performance[query performance guide] for some strategies to minimize this impact depending on the cache type and use case.

==== Configuration

===== General format

To enable indexing via XML, you need to add the `<indexing>` element plus the `index` (link:#query_index_mode[index mode])
to your cache configuration, and optionally pass additional properties.

[source,xml,options="nowrap",subs=attributes+]
----
include::config_examples/indexing.xml[]
----

Programmatic:

[source,java]
----
import org.infinispan.configuration.cache.*;

ConfigurationBuilder cacheCfg = ...
cacheCfg.indexing().index(Index.ALL)
      .addProperty("property name", "propery value")
----

===== Index names

Each property inside the `index` element is prefixed with the index name, for the index named `org.infinispan.sample.Car` the `directory_provider` is `local-heap`:

[source,xml,options="nowrap",subs=attributes+]
----
include::config_examples/indexing_property.xml[]
----

[source,java]
----
cacheCfg.indexing()
   .index(Index.ALL)
      .addProperty("org.infinispan.sample.Car.directory_provider", "local-heap")

----

{brandname} creates an index for each entity existent in a cache, and it allows to configure those indexes independently.
For a class annotated with `@Indexed`, the index name is the fully qualified class name, unless overridden with the
`name` argument in the annotation.

In the snippet below, the default storage for all entities is `infinispan`, but `Boat` instances will be stored on `local-heap` in an index named
`boatIndex`. `Airplane` entities will also be stored in `local-heap`. Any other entity's index will be configured with the property prefixed by `default`.

[source,java]
----
package org.infinispan.sample;

@Indexed(name = "boatIndex")
public class Boat {

}

@Indexed
public class Airplane {

}
----

[source,xml,options="nowrap",subs=attributes+]
----
include::config_examples/indexing_property_entity.xml[]
----


===== Specifying indexed Entities

{brandname} can automatically recognize and manage indexes for different entity types in a cache. Future versions of {brandname} will remove this capability so it's recommended to
declare upfront which types are going to be indexed (list them by their fully qualified class name). This can be done via xml:

[source,xml,options="nowrap",subs=attributes+]
----
include::config_examples/indexed_entities.xml[]
----

or programmatically:

[source,java]
----
 cacheCfg.indexing()
      .index(Index.ALL)
       .addIndexedEntity(Car.class)
       .addIndexedEntity(Truck.class)

----

In server mode, the class names listed under the 'indexed-entities' element must use the 'extended' class name format
which is composed of a JBoss Modules module identifier, a slot name, and the fully qualified class name, these three
components being separated by the ':' character, (eg. "com.acme.my-module-with-entity-classes:my-slot:com.acme.query.test.Car").
The entity classes must be located in the referenced module, which can be either a user supplied module deployed in the
'modules' folder of your server or a plain jar deployed in the 'deployments' folder. The module in question will become
an automatic dependency of your Cache, so its eventual redeployment will cause the cache to be restarted.

NOTE: Only for server, if you fail to follow the requirement of using 'extended' class names and use a plain class name
its resolution will fail due to missing class because the wrong ClassLoader is being used (the {brandname}'s internal
class path is being used).

[[query_index_mode]]
==== Index mode

An {brandname} node typically receives data from two sources: local and remote. Local translates to clients manipulating data using the map API in the same JVM;
remote data comes from other {brandname} nodes during replication or rebalancing.

The index mode configuration defines, from a node in the cluster point of view, which data gets indexed.

Possible values:

* ALL: all data is indexed, local and remote.
* LOCAL: only local data is indexed.
* PRIMARY_OWNER: Only entries containing keys that the node is primary owner will be indexed, regardless of local or remote origin.
* NONE: no data is indexed. Equivalent to not configure indexing at all.

[[query_index_manager]]
==== Index Managers

Index managers are central components in {brandname} Querying responsible for the indexing configuration, distribution and internal lifecycle of several query components such as Lucene's
_IndexReader_ and _IndexWriter_. Each Index Manager is associated with a _Directory Provider_, which defines the physical storage of the index.

Regarding index distribution, {brandname} can be configured with shared or non-shared indexes.

[[query_shared_index]]
==== Shared indexes

A shared index is a single, distributed, cluster-wide index for a certain cache. The main advantage is that the index is visible from every node and can be queried as if the index were local, there is no need to link:#query_clustered_query_api[broadcast]
queries to all members and aggregate the results. The downside is that Lucene does not allow more than a single process writing to the index at the same time, and the coordination of lock acquisitions needs to be done by a proper shared index capable index manager.
In any case, having a single write lock cluster-wise can lead to some degree of contention under heavy writing.

{brandname} supports a shared index leveraging the {brandname} Directory Provider, which stores indexes in a separate set of caches, called InfinispanIndexManager.

===== Effect of the index mode

Shared indexes should not use the `ALL` index mode since it'd lead to redundant indexing: since there is a single index cluster wide, the entry would get indexed when inserted via Cache API, and another time
when {brandname} replicates it to another node. The `ALL` mode is usually associates with link:#query_non_shared_index[non-shared indexes] in order to create full index replicas on each node.

===== InfinispanIndexManager

This index manager uses the {brandname} Directory Provider, and is suitable for creating shared indexes. Index mode should be set to `LOCAL` in this configuration.

Configuration:

[source,xml,options="nowrap",subs=attributes+]
----
include::config_examples/index_manager.xml[]
----

Indexes are stored in a set of clustered caches, called by default _LuceneIndexesData_, _LuceneIndexesMetadata_ and _LuceneIndexesLocking_.

The _LuceneIndexesLocking_ cache is used to store Lucene locks, and it is a very small cache: it will contain one entry per entity (index).

The _LuceneIndexesMetadata_ cache is used to store info about the logical files that are part of the index, such as names, chunks and sizes and it is also
small in size.

The _LuceneIndexesData_ cache is where most of the index is located: it is much bigger then the other two but should be smaller than the data in the cache itself, thanks to Lucene's
efficient storing techniques.

It's not necessary to redefine the configuration of those 3 cases, {brandname} will pick sensible defaults.
Reasons re-define them would be performance tuning for a specific scenario, or for example to make them persistent by configuring a cache store.

In order to avoid index corruption when two or more nodes of the cluster try to write to the index at the same time, the _InfinispanIndexManager_ internally
elects a master in the cluster (which is the JGroups coordinator) and forwards all indexing works to this master.

[[query_non_shared_index]]
==== Non-shared indexes

Non-shared indexes are independent indexes at each node. This setup is particularly advantageous for replicated caches where each node has all the cluster data
and thus can hold all the indexes as well, offering optimal query performance with zero network latency when querying. Another advantage is, since the index
is local to each node, there is less contention during writes due to the fact that each node is subjected to its own index lock, not a cluster wide one.

Since each node might hold a partial index, it may be necessary to link#query_clustered_query_api[broadcast] queries in order to get correct search results, which
can add latency. If the cache is REPL, though, the broadcast is not necessary: each node can hold a full local copy of the index and queries runs at optimal speed
taking advantage of a local index.

{brandname} has two index managers suitable for non-shared indexes: `directory-based` and `near-real-time`. Storage wise, non-shared indexes can be located
in ram, filesystem, or {brandname} local caches.

===== Effect of the index mode

The `directory-based` and `near-real-time` index managers can be associated with different link:#query_index_mode[index modes], resulting in different index distributions.

REPL caches combined with the `ALL` index mode will result in a full copy of the cluster-wide index on each node. This mode allows queries to become effectively local without
network latency. This is the recommended mode to index any REPL cache, and that's the choice picked by the link:#query_autoconfig[auto-config] when the a REPL cache is detected. The `ALL` mode should not be used with DIST caches.

REPL or DIST caches combined with `LOCAL` index mode will cause each node to index only data inserted from the same JVM, causing an uneven distribution of the index. In order
to obtain correct query results, it's necessary to use link:#query_clustered_query_api[broadcast] queries.

REPL or DIST caches combined with `PRIMARY_OWNER` will also need broadcast queries. Differently from the `LOCAL` mode, each node's index will contain indexed entries which key is primarily owned by the node according to the consistent hash, leading to a more evenly distributed indexes among the nodes.

[[query_directory_based]]
===== directory-based index manager

This is the default Index Manager used when no index manager is configured. The `directory-based` index manager is used to manage indexes backed by a local lucene directory. It supports _ram_, _filesystem_ and non-clustered
_infinispan_ storage.


[small]*Filesystem storage*

This is the default storage, and used when index manager configuration is omitted. The index is stored in the filesystem using a link:https://lucene.apache.org/core/6_0_0/core/org/apache/lucene/store/MMapDirectory.html[MMapDirectory].
It is the recommended storage for local indexes. Although indexes are persistent on disk, they get memory mapped by Lucene and thus offer decent query performance.

Configuration:

[source,xml,options="nowrap",subs=attributes+]
----
include::config_examples/indexing_filesystem.xml[]
----

{brandname} will create a different folder under `default.indexBase` for each entity (index) present in the cache.

[small]*Ram storage*

Index is stored in memory using a link:https://lucene.apache.org/core/6_0_0/core/org/apache/lucene/store/RAMDirectory.html[Lucene RAMDirectory].
Not recommended for large indexes or highly concurrent situations. Indexes stored in Ram are not persistent, so after a cluster shutdown a link:#query_massindexer[re-index]
is needed. Configuration:


[source,xml,options="nowrap",subs=attributes+]
----
include::config_examples/indexing_local_heap.xml[]
----

[small]*{brandname} storage*

{brandname} storage makes use of the {brandname} Lucene directory that saves the indexes to a set of caches; those caches can be configured like any other {brandname} cache, for example by adding a cache store to have indexes persisted elsewhere apart from memory.
In order to use {brandname} storage with a non-shared index, it's necessary to use LOCAL caches for the indexes:

[source,xml,options="nowrap",subs=attributes+]
----
include::config_examples/indexing_lucene_storage.xml[]
----

===== near-real-time index manager

Similar to the `directory-based` index manager but takes advantage of the Near-Real-Time features of Lucene. It has better write performance than
the `directory-based` because it flushes the index to the underlying store less often. The drawback is that unflushed index changes can be lost in case
of a non-clean shutdown. Can be used in conjunction with `local-heap`, `filesystem` and local infinispan storage. Configuration for each different storage
type is the same as the link:#query_directory_based[directory-based] index manager.

Example with ram:

[source,xml,options="nowrap",subs=attributes+]
----
include::config_examples/indexing_near_real_time.xml[]
----

Example with filesystem:

[source,xml,options="nowrap",subs=attributes+]
----
include::config_examples/indexing_near_real_time_fs.xml[]
----

==== External indexes

Apart from having shared and non-shared indexes managed by {brandname} itself, it is possible to offload indexing to a third party search engine: currently
{brandname} supports Elasticsearch as a external index storage.

===== Elasticsearch IndexManager (experimental)

This index manager forwards all indexes to an external Elasticsearch server. This is an experimental integration and some features may not be available,
for example `indexNullAs` for `@IndexedEmbedded` annotations is link:https://hibernate.atlassian.net/browse/HSEARCH-2389[not currently supported].

Configuration:

[source,xml,options="nowrap",subs=attributes+]
----
include::config_examples/indexing_elasticsearch.xml[]
----

The index mode should be set to `LOCAL`, since {brandname} considers Elasticsearch as a single shared index.
More information about Elasticsearch integration, including the full description of the configuration properties can be found at the link:https://docs.jboss.org/hibernate/stable/search/reference/en-US/html_single/#elasticsearch-integration[Hibernate Search manual].

[[query_autoconfig]]
==== Automatic configuration

The attribute auto-config provides a simple way of configuring indexing based on the cache type. For replicated and local caches, the indexing is configured to be persisted on disk and not shared
with any other processes. Also, it is configured so that minimum delay exists between the moment an object is indexed and the moment it is available for searches (near real time).


[source,xml,options="nowrap",subs=attributes+]
----
include::config_examples/indexing_auto_config.xml[]
----

NOTE: it is possible to redefine any property added via auto-config, and also add new properties, allowing for advanced tuning.

The auto config adds the following properties for replicated and local caches:

[options="header"]
|==============================================================================
| Property name | value | description
| default.directory_provider | filesystem | Filesystem based index. More details at link:http://docs.jboss.org/hibernate/stable/search/reference/en-US/html_single/#search-configuration-directory[Hibernate Search documentation]
| default.exclusive_index_use | true | indexing operation in exclusive mode, allowing Hibernate Search to optimize writes
| default.indexmanager | near-real-time | make use of Lucene near real time feature, meaning indexed objects are promptly available to searches
| default.reader.strategy | shared | Reuse index reader across several queries, thus avoiding reopening it
|==============================================================================


For distributed caches, the auto-config configure indexes in {brandname} itself, internally handled as a master-slave mechanism where indexing operations are sent to a single node which is responsible to
write to the index.

The auto config properties for distributed caches are:

[options="header"]
|==============================================================================
| Property name | value | description
| default.directory_provider | infinispan | Indexes stored in {brandname}. More details at link:http://docs.jboss.org/hibernate/stable/search/reference/en-US/html_single/#infinispan-directories[Hibernate Search documentation]
| default.exclusive_index_use | true | indexing operation in exclusive mode, allowing Hibernate Search to optimize writes
| default.indexmanager | org.infinispan.query.indexmanager.InfinispanIndexManager | Delegates index writing to a single node in the {brandname} cluster
| default.reader.strategy | shared | Reuse index reader across several queries, avoiding reopening it
|==============================================================================

[[query_massindexer]]
==== Re-indexing

Occasionally you might need to rebuild the Lucene index by reconstructing it from the data stored in the Cache. You need to rebuild the index if you change the definition of what is indexed on your types, or if you change for example some _Analyzer_ parameter, as Analyzers affect how the index is written. Also, you might need to rebuild the index if you had it destroyed by some system administration mistake. To rebuild the index just get a reference to the MassIndexer and start it; beware it might take some time as it needs to reprocess all data in the grid!

[source,java]
----
// Blocking execution
SearchManager searchManager = Search.getSearchManager(cache);
searchManager.getMassIndexer().start();

// Non blocking execution
CompletableFuture<Void> future = searchManager.getMassIndexer().startAsync();
----

TIP: This is also available as a `start` JMX operation on the link:{javadocroot}/jmxComponents.html#MassIndexer[MassIndexer MBean]
registered under the name `org.infinispan:type=Query,manager="{name-of-cache-manager}",cache="{name-of-cache}",component=MassIndexer`.

//TODO

//==== Indexless

//TODO
//[[query_hybrid]]
//==== Hybrid

==== Mapping Entities

{brandname} relies on the rich API of link:http://hibernate.org/search/[Hibernate Search] in order to define fine grained configuration for indexing at entity level.
This configuration includes which fields are annotated, which analyzers should be used, how to map nested objects and so on.
Detailed documentation is available at link:https://docs.jboss.org/hibernate/stable/search/reference/en-US/html_single/#search-mapping[the Hibernate Search manual].

===== @DocumentId
Unlike Hibernate Search, using _@DocumentId_ to mark a field as identifier does not apply to {brandname} values; in {brandname} the identifier for all _@Indexed_ objects is the key used to store the value. You can still customize how the key is indexed using a combination of _@Transformable_ , custom types and custom _FieldBridge_ implementations.

===== @Transformable keys
The key for each value needs to be indexed as well, and the key instance must be transformed in a _String_. {brandname} includes some default transformation routines to encode common primitives, but to use a custom key you must provide an implementation of _org.infinispan.query.Transformer_ .

[small]*Registering a key Transformer via annotations*

You can annotate your key class with _org.infinispan.query.Transformable_ and your custom transformer implementation
will be picked up automatically:

[source,java]
----

@Transformable(transformer = CustomTransformer.class)
public class CustomKey {
   ...
}

public class CustomTransformer implements Transformer {
   @Override
   public Object fromString(String s) {
      ...
      return new CustomKey(...);
   }

   @Override
   public String toString(Object customType) {
      CustomKey ck = (CustomKey) customType;
      return ...
   }
}

----

[small]*Registering a key Transformer via the cache indexing configuration*

You can use the _key-transformers_ xml element in both embedded and server config:

[source,xml,options="nowrap",subs=attributes+]
----
include::config_examples/indexing_key_transformer.xml[]
----

or alternatively, you can achieve the same effect by using the Java configuration API (embedded mode):

[source,java]
----

   ConfigurationBuilder builder = ...
   builder.indexing().autoConfig(true)
         .addKeyTransformer(CustomKey.class, CustomTransformer.class);

----

[small]*Registering a Transformer programmatically at runtime*

Using this technique, you don't have to annotate your custom key type and you also do not add the transformer to the,
cache indexing configuration, instead, you can add it to the _SearchManagerImplementor_ dynamically at runtime by invoking
_org.infinispan.query.spi.SearchManagerImplementor.registerKeyTransformer(Class<?>, Class<? extends Transformer>)_:

[source,java]
----
org.infinispan.query.spi.SearchManagerImplementor manager = Search.getSearchManager(cache).unwrap(SearchManagerImplementor.class);
manager.registerKeyTransformer(keyClass, keyTransformerClass);
----

NOTE: This approach is deprecated since 10.0 because it can lead to situations when a newly started node receives cache
entries via initial state transfer and is not able to index them because the needed key transformers are not yet registered
(and can only be registered after the Cache has been fully started). This undesirable situation is avoided if you register
your key transformers using the other available approaches (configuration and annotation).

[[query_configuration_api]]
===== Programmatic mapping

Instead of using annotations to map an entity to the index, it's also possible to configure it programmatically.

In the following example we map an object _Author_ which is to be stored in the grid and made searchable on two properties but without annotating the class.

[source,java]
----
import org.apache.lucene.search.Query;
import org.hibernate.search.cfg.Environment;
import org.hibernate.search.cfg.SearchMapping;
import org.hibernate.search.query.dsl.QueryBuilder;
import org.infinispan.Cache;
import org.infinispan.configuration.cache.Configuration;
import org.infinispan.configuration.cache.ConfigurationBuilder;
import org.infinispan.configuration.cache.Index;
import org.infinispan.manager.DefaultCacheManager;
import org.infinispan.query.CacheQuery;
import org.infinispan.query.Search;
import org.infinispan.query.SearchManager;

import java.io.IOException;
import java.lang.annotation.ElementType;
import java.util.Properties;

SearchMapping mapping = new SearchMapping();
mapping.entity(Author.class).indexed()
       .property("name", ElementType.METHOD).field()
       .property("surname", ElementType.METHOD).field();

Properties properties = new Properties();
properties.put(Environment.MODEL_MAPPING, mapping);
properties.put("hibernate.search.[other options]", "[...]");

Configuration infinispanConfiguration = new ConfigurationBuilder()
        .indexing().index(Index.NONE)
        .withProperties(properties)
        .build();

DefaultCacheManager cacheManager = new DefaultCacheManager(infinispanConfiguration);

Cache<Long, Author> cache = cacheManager.getCache();
SearchManager sm = Search.getSearchManager(cache);

Author author = new Author(1, "Manik", "Surtani");
cache.put(author.getId(), author);

QueryBuilder qb = sm.buildQueryBuilderForClass(Author.class).get();
Query q = qb.keyword().onField("name").matching("Manik").createQuery();
CacheQuery cq = sm.getQuery(q, Author.class);
assert cq.getResultSize() == 1;
----

[[query_apis]]
=== Querying APIs
You can query {brandname} using:

* Lucene or Hibernate Search Queries. {brandname} exposes the Hibernate Search DSL, which produces Lucene queries. You can run Lucene queries on single nodes or broadcast queries to multiple nodes in an {brandname} cluster.
* Ickle queries, a custom string-based query language with full-text extensions.

[[query_hibernatesearch]]
==== Hibernate Search

Apart from supporting Hibernate Search annotations to configure indexing, it's also possible to query the cache using other Hibernate Search APIs

===== Running Lucene queries

To run a Lucene query directly, simply create and wrap it in a _CacheQuery_:

[source,java]
----
import org.apache.lucene.search.Query;
import org.infinispan.query.CacheQuery;
import org.infinispan.query.Search;
import org.infinispan.query.SearchManager;


SearchManager searchManager = Search.getSearchManager(cache);
Query query = searchManager.buildQueryBuilderForClass(Book.class).get()
            .keyword().wildcard().onField("description").matching("*test*").createQuery();
CacheQuery<Book> cacheQuery = searchManager.getQuery(query);
----


===== Using the Hibernate Search DSL

The Hibernate Search DSL can be used to create the Lucene Query, example:

[source,java]
----
import org.infinispan.query.Search;
import org.infinispan.query.SearchManager;
import org.apache.lucene.search.Query;

Cache<String, Book> cache = ...

SearchManager searchManager = Search.getSearchManager(cache);

Query luceneQuery = searchManager
                         .buildQueryBuilderForClass(Book.class).get()
                         .range().onField("year").from(2005).to(2010)
                         .createQuery();

List<Object> results = searchManager.getQuery(luceneQuery).list();
----

For a detailed description of the query capabilities of this DSL, see the relevant section of the link:https://docs.jboss.org/hibernate/stable/search/reference/en-US/html_single/#section-building-lucene-queries[Hibernate Search manual].

===== Faceted Search

{brandname} support link:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Faceted_search[Faceted Searches] by using the Hibernate Search `FacetManager`:


[source,java]
----

// Cache is indexed
Cache<Integer, Book> cache = ...

// Obtain the Search Manager
SearchManager searchManager = Search.getSearchManager(cache);

// Create the query builder
QueryBuilder queryBuilder = searchManager.buildQueryBuilderForClass(Book.class).get();

// Build any Lucene Query. Here it's using the DSL to do a Lucene term query on a book name
Query luceneQuery = queryBuilder.keyword().wildcard().onField("name").matching("bitcoin").createQuery();

// Wrap into a cache Query
CacheQuery<Book> query = searchManager.getQuery(luceneQuery);

// Define the Facet characteristics
FacetingRequest request = queryBuilder.facet()
                .name("year_facet")
                .onField("year")
                .discrete()
                .orderedBy(FacetSortOrder.COUNT_ASC)
                .createFacetingRequest();

// Associated the FacetRequest with the query
FacetManager facetManager = query.getFacetManager().enableFaceting(request);

// Obtain the facets
List<Facet> facetList = facetManager.getFacets("year_facet");

----

A Faceted search like above will return the number books that match 'bitcoin' released on a yearly basis, for example:

--------------------------------------
AbstractFacet{facetingName='year_facet', fieldName='year', value='2008', count=1}
AbstractFacet{facetingName='year_facet', fieldName='year', value='2009', count=1}
AbstractFacet{facetingName='year_facet', fieldName='year', value='2010', count=1}
AbstractFacet{facetingName='year_facet', fieldName='year', value='2011', count=1}
AbstractFacet{facetingName='year_facet', fieldName='year', value='2012', count=1}
AbstractFacet{facetingName='year_facet', fieldName='year', value='2016', count=1}
AbstractFacet{facetingName='year_facet', fieldName='year', value='2015', count=2}
AbstractFacet{facetingName='year_facet', fieldName='year', value='2013', count=3}
--------------------------------------

For more info about Faceted Search, see link:http://docs.jboss.org/hibernate/stable/search/reference/en-US/html_single/#query-faceting[Hibernate Search Faceting]

[[query_spatial]]
===== Spatial Queries

{brandname} also supports link:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spatial_query[Spatial Queries], allowing to combining full-text with restrictions based on distances, geometries or geographic coordinates.

Example, we start by using the `@Spatial` annotation in our entity that will be searched, together with `@Latitude` and `@Longitude`:

[source,java]
----
@Indexed
@Spatial
public class Restaurant {

      @Latitude
      private Double latitude;

      @Longitude
      private Double longitude;

      @Field(store = Store.YES)
      String name;

      // Getters, Setters and other members omitted

   }
----

to run spatial queries, the Hibernate Search DSL can be used:

[source,java]
----
// Cache is configured as indexed
Cache<String, Restaurant> cache = ...

// Obtain the SearchManager
Searchmanager searchManager = Search.getSearchManager(cache);

// Build the Lucene Spatial Query
Query query = Search.getSearchManager(cache).buildQueryBuilderForClass(Restaurant.class).get()
          .spatial()
            .within( 2, Unit.KM )
              .ofLatitude( centerLatitude )
              .andLongitude( centerLongitude )
            .createQuery();

// Wrap in a cache Query
CacheQuery<Restaurant> cacheQuery = searchManager.getQuery(query);

List<Restaurant> nearBy = cacheQuery.list();
----

More info on link:http://docs.jboss.org/hibernate/stable/search/reference/en-US/html_single/#spatial[Hibernate Search manual]

[[query_clustered_query_api]]
===== IndexedQueryMode

It's possible to specify a query mode for indexed queries. IndexedQueryMode.BROADCAST allows to broadcast a query to each node of the cluster, retrieve the results and combine them before returning to the caller.
It is suitable for use in conjunction with link:#query_non_shared_index[non-shared indexes], since each node's local index will have only a subset of the data indexed.

IndexedQueryMode.FETCH will execute the query in the caller. If all the indexes for the cluster wide data are available locally, performance will be optimal, otherwise this query mode
may involve fetching indexes data from remote nodes.

The _IndexedQueryMode_ is supported for Ickle queries and Lucene Queries (but not for Query DSL).

Example:

[source,java]
----
CacheQuery<Person> broadcastQuery = Search.getSearchManager(cache).getQuery(new MatchAllDocsQuery(), IndexedQueryMode.BROADCAST);

List<Person> result = broadcastQuery.list();
----

[[query_dsl]]
==== {brandname} Query DSL

NOTE: The Query DSL (QueryBuilder and related interfaces) are deprecated and will be removed in next major version.
Please use Ickle queries instead.

{brandname} provides its own query DSL, independent of Lucene and Hibernate Search.
Decoupling the query API from the underlying query and indexing mechanism makes it possible to introduce new alternative
engines in the future, besides Lucene, and still being able to use the same uniform query API.
The current implementation of indexing and searching is still based on
Hibernate Search and Lucene so all indexing related aspects presented in this chapter still apply.

The new API simplifies the writing of queries by not exposing the user to the low level details of constructing Lucene
query objects and also has the advantage of being available to remote Hot Rod clients. But before delving into further details, let's examine first a simple example of writing a query for the _Book_ entity
from the previous example.

.Query example using {brandname}'s query DSL
[source,java]
----
import org.infinispan.query.dsl.*;

// get the DSL query factory from the cache, to be used for constructing the Query object:
QueryFactory qf = org.infinispan.query.Search.getQueryFactory(cache);

// create a query for all the books that have a title which contains "engine":
org.infinispan.query.dsl.Query query = qf.from(Book.class)
      .having("title").like("%engine%")
      .build();

// get the results:
List<Book> list = query.list();
----

The API is located in the _org.infinispan.query.dsl_ package. A query is created with the help of the _QueryFactory_
instance which is obtained from the per-cache _SearchManager_. Each _QueryFactory_ instance is bound to the same _Cache_
instance as the _SearchManager_, but it is otherwise a stateless and thread-safe object that can be used for creating
multiple queries in parallel.

Query creation starts with the invocation of the `from(Class entityType)` method which returns a _QueryBuilder_ object
that is further responsible for creating queries targeted to the specified entity class from the given cache.

NOTE: A query will always target a single entity type and is evaluated over the contents of a single cache. Running a
query over multiple caches or creating queries that target several entity types (joins) is not supported.

The _QueryBuilder_ accumulates search criteria and configuration specified through the invocation of its DSL methods and is
ultimately used to build a _Query_ object by the invocation of the `QueryBuilder.build()` method that completes the
construction. Being a stateful object, it cannot be used for constructing multiple queries at the same time
(except for link:#nested_conditions[nested queries]) but can be reused afterwards.

NOTE: This _QueryBuilder_ is different from the one from Hibernate Search but has a somewhat similar purpose, hence the
same name. We are considering renaming it in near future to prevent ambiguity.

Executing the query and fetching the results is as simple as invoking the `list()` method of the _Query_ object. Once
executed the _Query_ object is not reusable. If you need to re-execute it in order to obtain fresh results then a new
instance must be obtained by calling `QueryBuilder.build()`.

===== Filtering operators
Constructing a query is a hierarchical process of composing multiple criteria and is best explained following this hierarchy.

The simplest possible form of a query criteria is a restriction on the values of an entity attribute according to a
filtering operator that accepts zero or more arguments. The entity attribute is specified by invoking the
`having(String attributePath)` method of the query builder which returns an intermediate context object
(link:{javadocroot}/org/infinispan/query/dsl/FilterConditionEndContext.html[_FilterConditionEndContext_])
that exposes all the available operators. Each of the methods defined by _FilterConditionEndContext_ is an operator that
accepts an argument, except for `between` which has two arguments and `isNull` which has no arguments. The arguments are
statically evaluated at the time the query is constructed, so if you're looking for a feature similar to SQL's
correlated sub-queries, that is not currently available.

[source,java]
----
// a single query criterion
QueryBuilder qb = ...
qb.having("title").eq("Hibernate Search in Action");
----

._FilterConditionEndContext_ exposes the following filtering operators:
[options="header"]
|==============================================================================
| Filter | Arguments | Description
| in | Collection values | Checks that the left operand is equal to one of the elements from the Collection of values given as argument.
| in | Object... values | Checks that the left operand is equal to one of the (fixed) list of values given as argument.
| contains | Object value | Checks that the left argument (which is expected to be an array or a Collection) contains the given element.
| containsAll | Collection values | Checks that the left argument (which is expected to be an array or a Collection) contains all the elements of the given collection, in any order.
| containsAll | Object... values | Checks that the left argument (which is expected to be an array or a Collection) contains all of the the given elements, in any order.
| containsAny | Collection values | Checks that the left argument (which is expected to be an array or a Collection) contains any of the elements of the given collection.
| containsAny | Object... values | Checks that the left argument (which is expected to be an array or a Collection) contains any of the the given elements.
| isNull | | Checks that the left argument is null.
| like | String pattern | Checks that the left argument (which is expected to be a String) matches a wildcard pattern that follows the JPA rules.
| eq | Object value | Checks that the left argument is equal to the given value.
| equal | Object value | Alias for eq.
| gt | Object value | Checks that the left argument is greater than the given value.
| gte | Object value | Checks that the left argument is greater than or equal to the given value.
| lt | Object value | Checks that the left argument is less than the given value.
| lte | Object value | Checks that the left argument is less than or equal to the given value.
| between | Object from, Object to | Checks that the left argument is between the given range limits.
|==============================================================================

It's important to note that query construction requires a multi-step chaining of method invocation that must be done in
the proper sequence, must be properly completed exactly _once_ and must not be done twice, or it will result in an error.
The following examples are invalid, and depending on each case they lead to criteria being ignored (in benign cases) or
an exception being thrown (in more serious ones).

[source,java]
----
// Incomplete construction. This query does not have any filter on "title" attribute yet,
// although the author may have intended to add one.
QueryBuilder qb1 = ...
qb1.having("title");
Query q1 = qb1.build(); // consequently, this query matches all Book instances regardless of title!

// Duplicated completion. This results in an exception at run-time.
// Maybe the author intended to connect two conditions with a boolean operator,
// but this does NOT actually happen here.
QueryBuilder qb2 = ...
qb2.having("title").like("%Data Grid%");
qb2.having("description").like("%clustering%");   // will throw java.lang.IllegalStateException: Sentence already started. Cannot use 'having(..)' again.
Query q2 = qb2.build();
----

===== Filtering based on attributes of embedded entities

The `having` method also accepts dot separated attribute paths for referring to _embedded entity_ attributes, so the following
is a valid query:

[source,java]
----
// match all books that have an author named "Manik"
Query query = queryFactory.from(Book.class)
      .having("author.name").eq("Manik")
      .build();
----

Each part of the attribute path must refer to an existing indexed attribute in the corresponding entity or embedded
entity class respectively. It's possible to have multiple levels of embedding.

===== Boolean conditions
Combining multiple attribute conditions with logical conjunction (`and`) and disjunction (`or`) operators in order to
create more complex conditions is demonstrated in the following example. The well known operator precedence rule for
boolean operators applies here, so the order of DSL method invocations during construction is irrelevant. Here `and`
operator still has higher priority than `or` even though `or` was invoked first.

[source,java]
----
// match all books that have "Data Grid" in their title
// or have an author named "Manik" and their description contains "clustering"
Query query = queryFactory.from(Book.class)
  .having("title").like("%Data Grid%")
  .or().having("author.name").eq("Manik")
  .and().having("description").like("%clustering%")
  .build();
----

Boolean negation is achieved with the `not` operator, which has highest precedence among logical operators and applies
only to the next simple attribute condition.

[source,java]
----
// match all books that do not have "Data Grid" in their title and are authored by "Manik"
Query query = queryFactory.from(Book.class)
  .not().having("title").like("%Data Grid%")
  .and().having("author.name").eq("Manik")
  .build();
----

===== Nested conditions
Changing the precedence of logical operators is achieved with nested filter conditions. Logical operators can be used to
connect two simple attribute conditions as presented before, but can also connect a simple attribute condition with the
subsequent complex condition created with the same query factory.

[source,java]
----
// match all books that have an author named "Manik" and their title contains
// "Data Grid" or their description contains "clustering"
Query query = queryFactory.from(Book.class)
  .having("author.name").eq("Manik")
  .and(queryFactory.having("title").like("%Data Grid%")
          .or().having("description").like("%clustering%"))
  .build();
----

===== Projections
In some use cases returning the whole domain object is overkill if only a small subset of the attributes are actually
used by the application, especially if the domain entity has embedded entities. The query language allows you to specify
a subset of attributes (or attribute paths) to return - the projection. If projections are used then the `Query.list()`
will not return the whole domain entity but will return a _List_ of _Object[]_, each slot in the array corresponding to
a projected attribute.

//TODO document what needs to be configured for an attribute to be available for projection.

[source,java]
----
// match all books that have "Data Grid" in their title or description
// and return only their title and publication year
Query query = queryFactory.from(Book.class)
  .select("title", "publicationYear")
  .having("title").like("%Data Grid%")
  .or().having("description").like("%Data Grid%"))
  .build();
----

===== Sorting
Ordering the results based on one or more attributes or attribute paths is done with the `QueryBuilder.orderBy(  )`
method which accepts an attribute path and a sorting direction. If multiple sorting criteria are specified, then
the order of invocation of `orderBy` method will dictate their precedence. But you have to think of the multiple sorting
criteria as acting together on the tuple of specified attributes rather than in a sequence of individual sorting
operations on each attribute.

//TODO document what needs to be configured for an attribute to be available for sorting.

[source,java]
----
// match all books that have "Data Grid" in their title or description
// and return them sorted by the publication year and title
Query query = queryFactory.from(Book.class)
  .orderBy("publicationYear", SortOrder.DESC)
  .orderBy("title", SortOrder.ASC)
  .having("title").like("%Data Grid%")
  .or().having("description").like("%Data Grid%"))
  .build();
----

===== Pagination

You can limit the number of returned results by setting the _maxResults_ property of _QueryBuilder_. This can be used in
conjunction with setting the _startOffset_ in order to achieve pagination of the result set.

[source,java]
----
// match all books that have "clustering" in their title
// sorted by publication year and title
// and return 3'rd page of 10 results
Query query = queryFactory.from(Book.class)
  .orderBy("publicationYear", SortOrder.DESC)
  .orderBy("title", SortOrder.ASC)
  .startOffset(20)
  .maxResults(10)
  .having("title").like("%clustering%")
  .build();
----

NOTE: Even if the results being fetched are limited to _maxResults_ you can still find the total number of matching
results by calling `Query.getResultSize()`.

//TODO Does pagination make sense if no stable sort criteria is defined? Luckily when running on Lucene and no sort criteria is specified we still have the order of relevance, but this has to be defined for other search engines.

===== Grouping and Aggregation

{brandname} has the ability to group query results according to a set of grouping fields and construct aggregations of
the results from each group by applying an aggregation function to the set of values that fall into each group. Grouping
and aggregation can only be applied to projection queries. The supported aggregations are: avg, sum, count, max, min.
The set of grouping fields is specified with the _groupBy(field)_ method, which can be invoked multiple times. The order
used for defining grouping fields is not relevant. All fields selected in the projection must either be grouping fields
or else they must be aggregated using one of the grouping functions described below. A projection field can be
aggregated and used for grouping at the same time. A query that selects only grouping fields but no aggregation fields
is legal.
⁠

Example: Grouping Books by author and counting them.
[source,java]
----
Query query = queryFactory.from(Book.class)
    .select(Expression.property("author"), Expression.count("title"))
    .having("title").like("%engine%")
    .groupBy("author")
    .build();
----

NOTE: A projection query in which all selected fields have an aggregation function applied and no fields are used for
grouping is allowed. In this case the aggregations will be computed globally as if there was a single global group.

===== Aggregations

The following aggregation functions may be applied to a field: avg, sum, count, max, min


* avg() - Computes the average of a set of numbers. Accepted values are primitive numbers and instances of _java.lang.Number_. The result is represented as _java.lang.Double_. If there are no non-null values the result is _null_ instead.
* count() - Counts the number of non-null rows and returns a _java.lang.Long_. If there are no non-null values the result is _0_ instead.
* max() - Returns the greatest value found. Accepted values must be instances of _java.lang.Comparable_. If there are no non-null values the result is _null_ instead.
* min() - Returns the smallest value found. Accepted values must be instances of _java.lang.Comparable_. If there are no non-null values the result is _null_ instead.
* sum() - Computes the sum of a set of Numbers. If there are no non-null values the result is _null_ instead. The following table indicates the return type based on the specified field.

.Table sum return type
|===
|Field Type |Return Type

|Integral (other than BigInteger)
|Long

|Float or Double
|Double

|BigInteger
|BigInteger

|BigDecimal
|BigDecimal
|===

===== Evaluation of queries with grouping and aggregation

Aggregation queries can include filtering conditions, like usual queries. Filtering can be performed in two stages: before
and after the grouping operation. All filter conditions defined before invoking the _groupBy_ method will be applied
before the grouping operation is performed, directly to the cache entries (not to the final projection). These filter
conditions may reference any fields of the queried entity type, and are meant to restrict the data set that is going to
be the input for the grouping stage. All filter conditions defined after invoking the _groupBy_ method will be applied to
the projection that results from the projection and grouping operation. These filter conditions can either reference any
of the _groupBy_ fields or aggregated fields. Referencing aggregated fields that are not specified in the select clause
is allowed; however, referencing non-aggregated and non-grouping fields is forbidden. Filtering in this phase will
reduce the amount of groups based on their properties. Sorting may also be specified similar to usual queries. The
ordering operation is performed after the grouping operation and can reference any of the _groupBy_ fields or aggregated
fields.

===== Using Named Query Parameters

Instead of building a new Query object for every execution it is possible to include named parameters in the query which
can be substituted with actual values before execution. This allows a query to be defined once and be efficiently
executed many times. Parameters can only be used on the right-hand side of an operator and are defined when the query is
created by supplying an object produced by the _org.infinispan.query.dsl.Expression.param(String paramName)_ method to
the operator instead of the usual constant value. Once the parameters have been defined they can be set by invoking either
_Query.setParameter(parameterName, value)_ or _Query.setParameters(parameterMap)_ as shown in the examples below.
⁠
[source,java,tile="Using Named Parameters"]
----
import org.infinispan.query.Search;
import org.infinispan.query.dsl.*;
[...]

QueryFactory queryFactory = Search.getQueryFactory(cache);
// Defining a query to search for various authors and publication years
Query query = queryFactory.from(Book.class)
    .select("title")
    .having("author").eq(Expression.param("authorName"))
    .and()
    .having("publicationYear").eq(Expression.param("publicationYear"))
    .build();

// Set actual parameter values
query.setParameter("authorName", "Doe");
query.setParameter("publicationYear", 2010);

// Execute the query
List<Book> found = query.list();
----

Alternatively, multiple parameters may be set at once by supplying a map of actual parameter values:
⁠
[source,java,title="Setting multiple named parameters at once"]
----
import java.util.Map;
import java.util.HashMap;

[...]

Map<String, Object> parameterMap = new HashMap<>();
parameterMap.put("authorName", "Doe");
parameterMap.put("publicationYear", 2010);

query.setParameters(parameterMap);
----

NOTE: A significant portion of the query parsing, validation and execution planning effort is performed during the first
execution of a query with parameters. This effort is not repeated during subsequent executions leading to better
performance compared to a similar query using constant values instead of query parameters.

===== More Query DSL samples

Probably the best way to explore using the Query DSL API is to have a look at our tests suite.
link:https://github.com/infinispan/infinispan/blob/master/query/src/test/java/org/infinispan/query/dsl/embedded/QueryDslConditionsTest.java[QueryDslConditionsTest]
is a fine example.

[[query_ickle]]
==== Ickle
Create relational and full-text queries in both Library and Remote Client-Server mode with the Ickle query language.

Ickle is string-based and has the following characteristics:

* Query Java classes and supports Protocol Buffers.
* Queries can target a single entity type.
* Queries can filter on properties of embedded objects, including collections.
* Supports projections, aggregations, sorting, named parameters.
* Supports indexed and non-indexed execution.
* Supports complex boolean expressions.
* Supports full-text queries.
* Does not support computations in expressions, such as `user.age > sqrt(user.shoeSize+3)`.
* Does not support joins.
* Does not support subqueries.
* Is supported across various {brandname} APIs. Whenever a Query is produced by the QueryBuilder is accepted, including continuous queries or in event filters for listeners.

To use the API, first obtain a QueryFactory to the cache and then call the .create() method, passing in the string to use in the query. For instance:

[source,java,tile="Using Ickle"]
----
QueryFactory qf = Search.getQueryFactory(remoteCache);
Query q = qf.create("from sample_bank_account.Transaction where amount > 20");
----

When using Ickle all fields used with full-text operators must be both `Indexed` and `Analysed`.

===== Ickle Query Language Parser Syntax

The parser syntax for the Ickle query language has some notable rules:

* Whitespace is not significant.
* Wildcards are not supported in field names.
* A field name or path must always be specified, as there is no default field.
* `&&` and `||` are accepted instead of `AND` or `OR` in both full-text and JPA predicates.
* `!` may be used instead of `NOT`.
* A missing boolean operator is interpreted as `OR`.
* String terms must be enclosed with either single or double quotes.
* Fuzziness and boosting are not accepted in arbitrary order; fuzziness always comes first.
* `!=` is accepted instead of `<>`.
* Boosting cannot be applied to `>`,`>=`,`<`,`⇐` operators. Ranges may be used to achieve the same result.

===== Fuzzy Queries

To execute a fuzzy query add `~` along with an integer, representing the distance from the term used, after the term.
For instance

[source,java,tile="Fuzzy Queries in Ickle"]
----
Query fuzzyQuery = qf.create("from sample_bank_account.Transaction where description : 'cofee'~2");
----

===== Range Queries

To execute a range query define the given boundaries within a pair of braces, as seen in the following example:

[source,java,tile="Range queries with Ickle"]
----
Query rangeQuery = qf.create("from sample_bank_account.Transaction where amount : [20 to 50]");
----

===== Phrase Queries

A group of words may be searched by surrounding them in quotation marks, as seen in the following example:

[source,java,tile="Phrase queries with Ickle"]
----
Query q = qf.create("from sample_bank_account.Transaction where description : 'bus fare'");
----

===== Proximity Queries

To execute a proximity query, finding two terms within a specific distance, add a `~` along with the distance after the phrase.
For instance, the following example will find the words canceling and fee provided they are not more than 3 words apart:

[source,java,tile="Proximity queries with Ickle"]
----
Query proximityQuery = qf.create("from sample_bank_account.Transaction where description : 'canceling fee'~3 ");
----

===== Wildcard Queries

Both single-character and multi-character wildcard searches may be performed:

* A single-character wildcard search may be used with the ? character.
* A multi-character wildcard search may be used with the * character.

To search for text or test the following single-character wildcard search would be used:

[source,java,tile="Single-character wildcard queries with Ickle"]
----
Query wildcardQuery = qf.create("from sample_bank_account.Transaction where description : 'te?t'");
----

To search for test, tests, or tester the following multi-character wildcard search would be useD:

[source,java,tile="Multi-character wildcard queries with Ickle"]
----
Query wildcardQuery = qf.create("from sample_bank_account.Transaction where description : 'test*'");
----

===== Regular Expression Queries

Regular expression queries may be performed by specifing a pattern between /. Ickle uses Lucene’s regular expression syntax, so to search for the words moat or boat the following could be used:

[source,java,tile="Regular Expression queries with Ickle"]
----
Query regExpQuery = qf.create("from sample_library.Book  where title : /[mb]oat/");
----

===== Boosting Queries

Terms may be boosted by adding a ^ after the term to increase their relevance in a given query, the higher the boost factor the more relevant the term will be. For instance to search for titles containing beer and wine with a higher relevance on beer, by a factor of 3, the following could be used:

[source,java,tile="Boosting queries with Ickle"]
----
Query boostedQuery = qf.create("from sample_library.Book where title : beer^3 OR wine");
----

[[query_continuous]]
==== Continuous Query

Continuous Queries allow an application to register a listener which will receive the entries that currently match a
query filter, and will be continuously notified of any changes to the queried data set that result from further cache
operations. This includes incoming matches, for values that have joined the set, updated matches, for matching values
that were modified and continue to match, and outgoing matches, for values that have left the set. By using a Continuous
Query the application receives a steady stream of events instead of having to repeatedly execute the same query to
discover changes, resulting in a more efficient use of resources. For instance, all of the following use cases could
utilize Continuous Queries:

* Return all persons with an age between 18 and 25 (assuming the Person entity has an _age_ property and is updated by
the user application).
* Return all transactions higher than $2000.
* Return all times where the lap speed of F1 racers were less than 1:45.00s (assuming the cache contains Lap entries and
that laps are entered live during the race).

===== Continuous Query Execution

A continuous query uses a listener that is notified when:

* An entry starts matching the specified query, represented by a _Join_ event.
* A matching entry is updated and continues to match the query, represented by an _Update_ event.
* An entry stops matching the query, represented by a _Leave_ event.

When a client registers a continuous query listener it immediately begins to receive the results currently matching the
query, received as _Join_ events as described above. In addition, it will receive subsequent notifications when other
entries begin matching the query, as _Join_ events, or stop matching the query, as _Leave_ events, as a consequence of
any cache operations that would normally generate creation, modification, removal, or expiration events. Updated cache
entries will generate _Update_ events if the entry matches the query filter before and after the operation. To
summarize, the logic used to determine if the listener receives a _Join_, _Update_ or _Leave_ event is:

. If the query on both the old and new values evaluate false, then the event is suppressed.
. If the query on the old value evaluates false and on the new value evaluates true, then a _Join_ event is sent.
. If the query on both the old and new values evaluate true, then an _Update_ event is sent.
. If the query on the old value evaluates true and on the new value evaluates false, then a _Leave_ event is sent.
. If the query on the old value evaluates true and the entry is removed or expired, then a _Leave_ event is sent.

NOTE: Continuous Queries can use the full power of the Query DSL except: grouping, aggregation, and sorting operations.

===== Running Continuous Queries

To create a continuous query you'll start by creating a Query object first. This is described in
link:#query_dsl[the Query DSL section]. Then you'll need to obtain the ContinuousQuery (_org.infinispan.query.api.continuous.ContinuousQuery_)
object of your cache and register the query and a continuous query listener (_org.infinispan.query.api.continuous.ContinuousQueryListener_)
with it. A ContinuousQuery object associated to a cache can be obtained by calling the static method _org.infinispan.client.hotrod.Search.getContinuousQuery(RemoteCache<K, V> cache)_
if running in remote mode or _org.infinispan.query.Search.getContinuousQuery(Cache<K, V> cache)_ when running in embedded mode.
Once the listener has been created it may be registered by using the addContinuousQueryListener method of ContinuousQuery:

[source,java]
----
continuousQuery.addContinuousQueryListener(query, listener);
----

The following example demonstrates a simple continuous query use case in embedded mode:
⁠
[source,java,title="Registering a Continuous Query"]
----
import org.infinispan.query.api.continuous.ContinuousQuery;
import org.infinispan.query.api.continuous.ContinuousQueryListener;
import org.infinispan.query.Search;
import org.infinispan.query.dsl.QueryFactory;
import org.infinispan.query.dsl.Query;

import java.util.Map;
import java.util.concurrent.ConcurrentHashMap;

[...]

// We have a cache of Persons
Cache<Integer, Person> cache = ...

// We begin by creating a ContinuousQuery instance on the cache
ContinuousQuery<Integer, Person> continuousQuery = Search.getContinuousQuery(cache);

// Define our query. In this case we will be looking for any Person instances under 21 years of age.
QueryFactory queryFactory = Search.getQueryFactory(cache);
Query query = queryFactory.from(Person.class)
    .having("age").lt(21)
    .build();

final Map<Integer, Person> matches = new ConcurrentHashMap<Integer, Person>();

// Define the ContinuousQueryListener
ContinuousQueryListener<Integer, Person> listener = new ContinuousQueryListener<Integer, Person>() {
    @Override
    public void resultJoining(Integer key, Person value) {
        matches.put(key, value);
    }

    @Override
    public void resultUpdated(Integer key, Person value) {
        // we do not process this event
    }

    @Override
    public void resultLeaving(Integer key) {
        matches.remove(key);
    }
};

// Add the listener and the query
continuousQuery.addContinuousQueryListener(query, listener);

[...]

// Remove the listener to stop receiving notifications
continuousQuery.removeContinuousQueryListener(listener);
----

As Person instances having an age less than 21 are added to the cache they will be received by the listener and will be
placed into the _matches_ map, and when these entries are removed from the cache or their age is modified to be greater
or equal than 21 they will be removed from _matches_.

===== Removing Continuous Queries
To stop the query from further execution just remove the listener:

[source,java]
----
continuousQuery.removeContinuousQueryListener(listener);
----

===== Notes on performance of Continuous Queries

Continuous queries are designed to provide a constant stream of updates to the application, potentially resulting in a
very large number of events being generated for particularly broad queries. A new temporary memory allocation is made
for each event. This behavior may result in memory pressure, potentially leading to _OutOfMemoryErrors_ (especially in
remote mode) if queries are not carefully designed. To prevent such issues it is strongly recommended to ensure that
each query captures the minimal information needed both in terms of number of matched entries and size of each match
(projections can be used to capture the interesting properties), and that each _ContinuousQueryListener_ is designed
to quickly process all received events without blocking and to avoid performing actions that will lead to the generation
of new matching events from the cache it listens to.

[[query_remote]]
== Remote Querying

Apart from supporting indexing and searching of Java entities to embedded
clients, {brandname} introduced support for remote, language neutral, querying.

This leap required two major changes:

* Since non-JVM clients cannot benefit from directly using link:http://lucene.apache.org/[Apache Lucene]'s Java
API, {brandname} defines its own new link:#query_dsl[query language], based on an internal DSL that is easily
implementable in all languages for which we currently have an implementation of the Hot Rod client.
* In order to enable indexing, the entities put in the cache by clients can no longer be opaque binary blobs understood
solely by the client. Their structure has to be known to both server and client, so a common way of
encoding structured data had to be adopted. Furthermore, allowing multi-language clients to access the data requires a
language and platform-neutral encoding. Google's link:http://code.google.com/p/protobuf/[Protocol Buffers] was
elected as an encoding format for both over-the-wire and storage due to its efficiency, robustness, good multi-language
support and support for schema evolution.

[[storing_protobuf]]
=== Storing Protobuf encoded entities
Remote clients that want to be able to index and query their stored entities must do so using the ProtoStream
marshaller. This is _key_ for the search capability to work. But it's also possible to store Protobuf entities just for
gaining the benefit of platform independence and not enable indexing if you do not need it.

[[enable_indexing]]
=== Indexing of Protobuf encoded entries
After configuring the client as described in the previous section you can start configuring indexing for your caches on
the server side. Activating indexing and the various indexing specific configurations is identical to embedded mode and
is detailed in the link:#query_configuration_api[Querying {brandname}] chapter.

There is however an extra configuration step involved. While in embedded mode the indexing metadata is obtained via Java
reflection by analyzing the presence of various Hibernate Search annotations on the entry's class, this is obviously not
possible if the entry is protobuf encoded.
The server needs to obtain the relevant metadata from the same descriptor (.proto file) as the client.
The descriptors are stored in a dedicated cache on the server named _'___protobuf_metadata'_. Both keys and values in
this cache are plain strings. Registering a new schema is therefore as simple as performing a _put_ operation on this
cache using the schema's name as key and the schema file itself as the value.
Alternatively you can use the CLI (via the cache-container=*:register-proto-schemas() operation), the Management Console
or the _ProtobufMetadataManager_ MBean via JMX.
Be aware that, when security is enabled, access to the schema cache via the remote protocols requires
that the user belongs to the pass:['___schema_manager'] role.

NOTE: Even if indexing is enabled for a cache no fields of Protobuf encoded entries will be indexed unless you use
the _@Indexed_ and _@Field_ protobuf schema documentation annotations in order to specify what fields need to get
indexed.

=== A remote query example
In this example, we will show you how to configure the client to utilise the example link:#protostream[LibraryInitializerImpl],
put some data in the cache and then try to search for it. Note, the following example assumes that link:#enable_indexing[Indexing has been enabled]
by registering the required .proto files with the `___protobuf_metadata` cache.

[source,java]
----
include::code_examples/RemoteQuery.java[]
----

The key part of creating a query is obtaining the _QueryFactory_ for the remote cache using the
_org.infinispan.client.hotrod.Search.getQueryFactory()_ method. Once you have this creating the query is similar to
embedded mode which is covered in link:#query_dsl[this] section.

[[analysis]]
=== Analysis
Analysis is a process that converts input data into one or more terms that you can index and query.

==== Default Analyzers
{brandname} provides a set of default analyzers as follows:

[%header,cols=2*]
|===

| Definition
| Description

| `standard`
| Splits text fields into tokens, treating whitespace and punctuation as delimiters.

| `simple`
| Tokenizes input streams by delimiting at non-letters and then converting all letters to lowercase characters. Whitespace and non-letters are discarded.

| `whitespace`
| Splits text streams on whitespace and returns sequences of non-whitespace characters as tokens.

| `keyword`
| Treats entire text fields as single tokens.

| `stemmer`
| Stems English words using the Snowball Porter filter.

| `ngram`
| Generates n-gram tokens that are 3 grams in size by default.

| `filename`
| Splits text fields into larger size tokens than the `standard` analyzer, treating whitespace as a delimiter and converts all letters to lowercase characters.

|===

These analyzer definitions are based on Apache Lucene and are provided "as-is".
For more information about tokenizers, filters, and CharFilters, see the
appropriate Lucene documentation.

==== Using Analyzer Definitions
To use analyzer definitions, reference them by name in the _.proto_ schema file.

. Include the `Analyze.YES` attribute to indicate that the property is analyzed.
. Specify the analyzer definition with the `@Analyzer` annotation.

The following example shows referenced analyzer definitions:

[source,protobuf,options="nowrap"]
----
/* @Indexed */
message TestEntity {

    /* @Field(store = Store.YES, analyze = Analyze.YES, analyzer = @Analyzer(definition = "keyword")) */
    optional string id = 1;

    /* @Field(store = Store.YES, analyze = Analyze.YES, analyzer = @Analyzer(definition = "simple")) */
    optional string name = 2;
}
----

==== Creating Custom Analyzer Definitions
If you require custom analyzer definitions, do the following:

. Create an implementation of the
`ProgrammaticSearchMappingProvider` interface packaged in a `JAR` file.
. Provide a file named `org.infinispan.query.spi.ProgrammaticSearchMappingProvider` in the
`META-INF/services/` directory of your `JAR`. This file should contain the fully qualified class name of your implementation.
. Copy the `JAR` to the `standalone/deployments` directory of your {brandname} installation.
+
[IMPORTANT]
====
Your deployment must be available to the {brandname} server during startup. You cannot add the deployment if the server is already running.
====
+
The following is an example implementation of the
`ProgrammaticSearchMappingProvider` interface:
+
[source,java,options="nowrap"]
----
import org.apache.lucene.analysis.core.LowerCaseFilterFactory;
import org.apache.lucene.analysis.core.StopFilterFactory;
import org.apache.lucene.analysis.standard.StandardFilterFactory;
import org.apache.lucene.analysis.standard.StandardTokenizerFactory;
import org.hibernate.search.cfg.SearchMapping;
import org.infinispan.Cache;
import org.infinispan.query.spi.ProgrammaticSearchMappingProvider;

public final class MyAnalyzerProvider implements ProgrammaticSearchMappingProvider {

   @Override
   public void defineMappings(Cache cache, SearchMapping searchMapping) {
      searchMapping
            .analyzerDef("standard-with-stop", StandardTokenizerFactory.class)
               .filter(StandardFilterFactory.class)
               .filter(LowerCaseFilterFactory.class)
               .filter(StopFilterFactory.class);
   }
}
----
+
. Specify the `JAR` in the cache container configuration, for
example:
+
[source,xml,options="nowrap",subs=attributes+]

== Statistics

Query link:http://docs.jboss.org/hibernate/search/5.7/api/org/hibernate/search/stat/Statistics.html[_Statistics_]
can be obtained from the _SearchManager_, as demonstrated in the following code snippet.

[source,java]
----
SearchManager searchManager = Search.getSearchManager(cache);
org.hibernate.search.stat.Statistics statistics = searchManager.getStatistics();
----

TIP: This data is also available via JMX through the link:https://docs.jboss.org/hibernate/stable/search/reference/en-US/html_single/#_statisticsinfombean[Hibernate Search StatisticsInfoMBean]
registered under the name `org.infinispan:type=Query,manager="{name-of-cache-manager}",cache="{name-of-cache}",component=Statistics`.
Please note this MBean is always registered by {brandname} but the statistics are collected only if statistics collection is enabled at cache level.

WARNING: Hibernate Search has its own configuration properties `hibernate.search.jmx_enabled` and `hibernate.search.generate_statistics`
for JMX statistics as explained link:https://docs.jboss.org/hibernate/stable/search/reference/en-US/html_single/#search-monitoring[here].
Using them with {brandname} Query is forbidden as it will only lead to duplicated MBeans and unpredictable results.

[[query_performance]]
== Performance Tuning

=== Batch writing in SYNC mode

By default, the link:#query_index_manager[Index Managers] work in sync mode, meaning when data is written to {brandname}, it will perform the indexing operations synchronously.
This synchronicity guarantees indexes are always consistent with the data (and thus visible in searches), but can slowdown write operations since it will also perform a commit to the index.
Committing is an extremely expensive operation in Lucene, and for that reason, multiple writes from different nodes can be automatically batched into a single commit to reduce
the impact.

So, when doing data loads to {brandname} with index enabled, try to use multiple threads to take advantage of this batching.

If using multiple threads does not result in the required performance, an alternative is to load data with indexing temporarily disabled and run
 a link:#query_massindexer[re-indexing] operation afterwards. This can be done writing data with the `SKIP_INDEXING` flag:

[source,java]
----
cache.getAdvancedCache().withFlags(Flag.SKIP_INDEXING).put("key","value");
----

=== Writing using async mode

If it's acceptable a small delay between data writes and when that data is visible in queries, an index manager can be configured to work in *async mode*.
The async mode offers much better writing performance, since in this mode commits happen at a configurable interval.

Configuration:

[source,xml,options="nowrap",subs=attributes+]
----
include::config_examples/indexing_async.xml[]
----

=== Index reader async strategy

Lucene internally works with snapshots of the index: once an _IndexReader_ is opened, it will only see the index changes up to the point it was opened;
further index changes will not be visible until the _IndexReader_ is refreshed. The Index Managers used in {brandname} by default will check the
freshness of the index readers before every query and refresh them if necessary.

It is possible to tune this strategy to relax this freshness checking to a pre-configured interval by using the `reader.strategy` configuration set as `async`:

[source,xml,options="nowrap",subs=attributes+]
----
include::config_examples/indexing_async_reader_strategy.xml[]
----

=== Lucene Options

It is possible to apply tuning options in Lucene directly. For more details, see the link:++https://docs.jboss.org/hibernate/stable/search/reference/en-US/html_single/#_lucene_configuration++[Hibernate Search manual].
