Interface ProspectiveSearchService

public interface ProspectiveSearchService

The Prospective Search App Engine API exposes the real-time and highly scalable Google Prospective Search Infrastructure as an App Engine service. The ProspectiveSearch API allows an app to register a set of queries (in a simple query format) to match against documents that are presented. For every document presented, the matcher will return the ids of all of the matching queries. To allow the app to handle a potentially large number of matched queries, the matched ids are enqueued as tasks on the TaskQueue. The target for these match notifications is defined in the member DEFAULT_RESULT_RELATIVE_URL.

Method Detail

subscribe

void subscribe(java.lang.String topic,
               java.lang.String subId,
               long leaseDurationSeconds,
               java.lang.String query,
               java.util.Map<java.lang.String,FieldType> schema)

The subscribe call is used to register subscriptions, which comprise of a subscription id and a query. A delay of a few seconds is expected between subscribe returning successfully and the subscription being registered. If this call returns without throwing an exception the subscription will eventually be registered.

Parameters:

topic - Specifies the namespace for the subscription. Subscriptions of a particular topic will only be matched against documents of the same topic.

subId - Is a unique string for this subscription; subscribe will overwrite subscriptions with the same subId.

query - Is a query written in the simple query format.

leaseDurationSeconds - Seconds before the subscription is automatically removed or a value of 0 for no expiration.

schema - Map of schema field names to their corresponding types.

Throws:

QuerySyntaxException - raised when query is invalid or does not match schema.

ApiProxy.ApplicationException - Call failed. See the message detail for the reason.

unsubscribe

void unsubscribe(java.lang.String topic,
                 java.lang.String subId)

Subscriptions are removed from the system using the unsubscribe call. A successful unsubscribe call guarantees that the subscription will eventually be removed. A delay of a few seconds is expected between the unsubscribe returning successfully and the subscription being removed. Once the last subscription for a given topic is removed, the topic also no longer exists.

Parameters:

topic - Must be the same as the topic of the subscription to be removed.

subId - Is the id of the subscription to remove.

Throws:

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if the given topic does not exist or has no subscription with the given subId.

ApiProxy.ApplicationException - Call failed. See the message detail for the reason.

match

void match(Entity document,
           java.lang.String topic)

Equivalent to: match(entity, topic, "");

See Also:

match(Entity, String, String)

match

void match(Entity document,
           java.lang.String topic,
           java.lang.String resultKey)

Equivalent to: match(entity, topic, resultKey, DEFAULT_RESULT_RELATIVE_URL, DEFAULT_RESULT_TASK_QUEUE_NAME, DEFAULT_RESULT_BATCH_SIZE, true);

See Also:

#match(Entity, String, String, String, String, int, bool)

match

           java.lang.String resultTaskQueueName,
           int resultBatchSize,
           boolean resultReturnDocument)

The match call is used to present a document for matching against all registered subscriptions of the same topic. The set of subscriptions matched are enqueued in batches as tasks on the TaskQueue.

Parameters:

document - To match.

topic - Specifies the namespace for the subscriptions to match. Subscriptions of a particular topic will only be matched against documents of the same topic.

resultKey - is a user defined key returned with the results that can be used to associate the result batch with a particular document.
