Chapter 4. Querying embedded caches

This section explains how to query an embedded cache using an example cache named "books" that stores indexed Book instances.

In this example, each Book instance defines which properties are indexed and specifies some advanced indexing options with Hibernate Search annotations as follows:

package org.infinispan.sample;

import java.time.LocalDate;
import java.util.HashSet;
import java.util.Set;

import org.hibernate.search.mapper.pojo.mapping.definition.annotation.*;

// Annotate values with @Indexed to add them to indexes
// Annotate each fields according to how you want to index it
@Indexed
public class Book {
   @FullTextField
   String title;

   @FullTextField
   String description;

   @KeywordField
   String isbn;

   @GenericField
   LocalDate publicationDate;

   @IndexedEmbedded
   Set<Author> authors = new HashSet<Author>();
}

package org.infinispan.sample;

import org.hibernate.search.mapper.pojo.mapping.definition.annotation.FullTextField;

public class Author {
   @FullTextField
   String name;

   @FullTextField
   String surname;
}

Add annotations to your Java classes to map your entities to indexes.

The following sections provide information that applies to entity mapping annotations for use with Data Grid.

For complete detail about these annotations, you should refer to the Hibernate Search manual.

@DocumentId

Unlike Hibernate Search, using @DocumentId to mark a field as identifier does not apply to Data Grid values; in Data Grid 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. Data Grid 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 .

@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 ...
   }
}

<replicated-cache name="test">
  <indexing auto-config="true">
    <key-transformers>
      <key-transformer key="com.mycompany.CustomKey"
                       transformer="com.mycompany.CustomTransformer"/>
    </key-transformers>
  </indexing>
</replicated-cache>

Alternatively, use the Java configuration API (embedded mode):

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

You can programmatically map entities to the index as an alternative to annotating Java classes.

In the following example we map an object Author which is to be stored in the grid and made searchable on two properties:

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;
