CoreSpotlight.framework注释翻译

iOS9推出了CoreSpotlight，今天没事在家翻译了一部分代码里面的注释，这里贴出了，后面继续贴出实验的文章。

声明：本人大学四级刚过，英语水平有限，所以会有错误，欢迎拍砖。

关于CoreSpotlight的介绍，请读者自己百度、Google。

CoreSpotlight.framework包含的文件如下：

在上面的文件中CSSearchableIndex，用于存储可以被搜索的item；CSSearchableItem，对应存储的itmen；CSSearchableItemAttributeSet，item中存储的相关属性，其他得CSSearchableItemAttributeSet类别都是对应特定的搜索内容的。

下面就贴出代码了（只贴出翻译的代码 有些没有翻译的没有贴出来）：

@interface CSSearchableIndex (CSOptionalBatching)

//Batching:

//For some clients, it may be beneficial to batch updates to the index.  Those clients can use batching and persist client state information (< 250 bytes) in the index.  That state information can be used to determine where indexing needs to resume from in case of a client crash or jetsam. Batching is supported for indexSearchableItems deleteSearchableItemsWithIdentifiers.  Persisted client state will be reset whenever deleteAllSearchableItemsWithCompletionHandler is called.

// 对于一些用户，批量更新所以将会非常便利。用户可以使用批量操作持久化用户的状态信息在索引中。如果客户端crash或者退出，这些状态信息用于决定索引应该在哪里被唤醒（译者注：可能翻译的有问题）。批处理可以支持indexSearchableItems、deleteSearchableItemsWithIdentifiers。当调用deleteAllSearchableItemsWithCompletionHandler方法时候，持久化客户端状态将会被重置。

//Note: Batching is unsupported for the CSSearchableIndex returned by the defaultSearchableIndex method

//Note: 对于通过defaultSearchableIndex方法获取的CSSearchableIndex不支持批处理

//Thread safety: In batch mode, the client takes responsibility for protecting the private CSSearchableIndex instance from concurrent access from multiple threads. Concurrent calls to the index instance will have undefined results. beginIndexBatch must not be called again before endIndexBatchWithClientState:completionHandler: has returned (it is however safe to call before the completionHandler passed to endIndexBatchWithClientState:completionHandler has been called).
// 线程安全：在批处理模式下，客户端负责保护私有的CSSearchableIndex，处理多线程的同时访问。同时访问索引实例将会有未定义的结果。beginIndexBatch不能在endIndexBatchWithClientState:completionHandler:还没有返回结果前调用。

//Begin a batch of index adds, updates, or deletes.
// 开始批出index添加、更新、删除
- (void)beginIndexBatch;

//End a batch passing in client state information to be persisted in the index.  The completion handler will be called once the client state has been persisted.
