                 Key: LUCENE-1290
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-1290
             Project: Lucene - Java
          Issue Type: Task
          Components: Search
            Reporter: Michael Busch
            Assignee: Michael Busch
            Priority: Minor
             Fix For: 2.4


The Hits class has several drawbacks as pointed out in LUCENE-954.
The other search APIs that use TopDocCollector and TopDocs should be used 
instead.

This patch:
- deprecates org/apache/lucene/search/Hits, Hit, and HitIterator, as well as
  the Searcher.search( * ) methods which return a Hits Object.
- removes all references to Hits from the core and uses TopDocs and ScoreDoc
  instead
- Changes the demo SearchFiles: adds the two modes 'paging search' and 
'streaming search',
  each of which demonstrating a different way of using the search APIs. The 
former
  uses TopDocs and a TopDocCollector, the latter a custom HitCollector 
implementation.
- Updates the online tutorial that descibes the demo.

All tests pass.
