Robert Muir commented on LUCENE-4285:
-------------------------------------
If the problem with null is that the documentation isn't loud enough, we can
make it bold?
If the problem is people dont read build()'s javadocs and we think thats bad,
another idea is to just
throw a checked exception: then there is no sneaky bugs caused by the change
(unlike returning EMPTY, which
could easily introduce these).
> Improve FST API usability for mere mortals

> Key: LUCENE-4285
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-4285
> Project: Lucene - Core
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: core/FSTs
> Reporter: David Smiley
>
> FST technology is something that has brought amazing advances to Lucene, yet
> the API is hard to use for the vast majority of users like me. I know that
> performance of FSTs is really important, but surely a lot can be done without
> sacrificing that.
