Class MatchService

  • public class MatchService
extends Object
    Entry Point for Fuzzy Matching. This class provides different ways to accept Documents for primarily 3 use case

    1. De-duplication of data - Where for a given list of documents it finds duplicates 2. Check duplicate for a new data - Where it checks for a new Document a duplicate is present in existing list 3. Check duplicates for bulk inserts - Similar to 2, where a list of new Documents is checked against existing

    This also has similar implementation to aggregate results in different formats.
