Markus Heiden commented on LUCENE-6365:
---------------------------------------

Are you talking about "for (IntsRef finiteString; (finiteString = 
iterator.next()) != null;)"?
For me it is the standard iteration pattern for non-lookahead iterations, like 
e.g. iterating over an input stream (see e.g. FileCopyUtils of Spring 
framework).

Does "for (IntsRef finiteString = iterator.next(); finiteString != null; 
finiteString = iterator.next())" look better for you?
I like my version better, because it is shorter and the iterator.next() is not 
doubled, but I will you use it, if you like it better.

A simple while loop looks even more bloated to me:
IntsRef finiteString = iterator.next();
while (finiteString != null) {
   // do something

   finiteString = iterator.next();
}

>             Project: Lucene - Core
>          Issue Type: Improvement
>          Components: core/other
>    Affects Versions: 5.0
>            Reporter: Markus Heiden
>            Priority: Minor
>              Labels: patch, performance
>         Attachments: FiniteStringsIterator.patch
>
>
> Replaced Operations.getFiniteStrings() by an optimized FiniteStringIterator.
> Benefits:
> Avoid huge hash set of finite strings.
> Avoid massive object/array creation during processing.
> "Downside":
> Iteration order changed, so when iterating with a limit, the result may 
> differ slightly. Old: emit current node, if accept / recurse. New: recurse / 
> emit current node, if accept.
> The old method Operations.getFiniteStrings() still exists, because it eases 
> the tests. It is now implemented by use of the new FiniteStringIterator.
