Initialization

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

  my $update = Search::InvertedIndex::Update->new({ -group => $group,
                                                    -index => $index,
                                                     -data => $index_data,
                                                     -keys => {
												               $key0 => 10,
															   $key1 => 20,
															   $key2 => 15,
													         },
												 });

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.
