Creating an mg4j collection.

     -f HtmlDocumentFactory -p encoding=iso-8859-1 d:\data\work\out2.collection d:\data\gov2\gx000\gx000\00.txt

Creating a BitFunnel chunk file from an mg4j collection.

java -cp target/mg4j-1.0-SNAPSHOT-jar-with-dependencies.jar \
     org.bitfunnel.reproducibility.GenerateBitFunnelChunks \
      -S <collection file> <chunk file>

Building an mg4j index.

java -cp target/mg4j-1.0-SNAPSHOT-jar-with-dependencies.jar \
     it.unimi.di.big.mg4j.tool.IndexBuilder \
      --keep-batches --downcase -S d:\data\work\out2.collection d:\data\work\out2

TODO: Substitute TODO: Add document filter parameter.

Processing a query log.

java -cp target/mg4j-1.0-SNAPSHOT-jar-with-dependencies.jar \
     org.bitfunnel.reproducibility.QueryLogRunner \
     <index base name> <query log file> <output file> [-t threadCount]

Exporting a Partitioned Elias-Fano Index

It is possible to export the mg4j index in a format usable by the Partitioned Elias-Fano Index project. The optional --index flag exports the index. The option --queries flag converts a query log file for consumption by the Partitioned Elias-Fano Index. Two query files are generated. The first has queries whose terms have been replaced by their integer term id values. Queries with terms that are not in the index (and therefor don't have term id values) are filtered out. The second query file has the plain text queries corresponding to those in the file of term id queries.

java -cp target/mg4j-1.0-SNAPSHOT-jar-with-dependencies.jar \
     org.bitfunnel.reproducibility.IndexExporter \
     <index base name> <output base name> [--index] [--queries <query log file>]

Filtering Query Logs

Note that one can use the IndexExporter, described in the previous section, to generate a filtered query log that contains only those queries whose terms all appear in the index. Just include the --queries parameter and remove the --index parameter.
