Initialization

"new({ -group => $group, -index => $index, -keys => { ... ) [ -data =" > $data ] });>

Returns and optionally initializes a new Search::InvertedIndex::Update object.

Examples:

  my $update = Search::InvertedIndex::Update->new;
  my $update = Search::InvertedIndex::Update->new({ -group => $group,
                                                    -index => $index,
                                                     -data => $index_data,
                                                     -keys => {
                                                                                                               $key0 => 10,

Inherits 'get/set' methods from Class::NamedParms

The -keys parameter is a reference to a hash containing all the keys for this index and their assigned rankings. Rankings are allowed to be integer values between -32768 and +32767 inclusive.

The -group and -index are required, the -keys are optional. The Update object is used for update by replacement of all -keys for the specified -group and -index. All existing keys are deleted and the passed -keys is used to insert a completely new set of keys for the specified index/group.

The -data parameter is optional, but if passed will replace the existing -data record for the -index.
