Robert Muir commented on LUCENE-5569:
-------------------------------------
Yes 5.0 is the time to fix this stuff. Tim is wrong, its not a horrible burden
to users. Users don't have to upgrade. And fixing the api makes it easier on
newer users.
> Rename AtomicReader to LeafReader

> See LUCENE-5527 for more context: several of us seem to prefer {{Leaf}} to
> {{Atomic}}.
> Talking from my experience, I was a bit confused in the beginning that this
> thing is named {{AtomicReader}}, since {{Atomic}} is otherwise used in Java
> in the context of concurrency. So maybe renaming it to {{Leaf}} would help
> remove this confusion and also carry the information that these readers are
> used as leaves of top-level readers?
