Uwe Schindler commented on LUCENE-1290:
---------------------------------------
The HitCollerctor and Iterator approach only supports *forward* displaying of
results. In a typical Google-like Website, where the user can just jump to page
X, display some results and can jump back to page Y and display results from
there too, Hits works really good. The problem with Hits is, that it returns
and caches whole "Documents". If it could just return ScoreDocs and would
implement the Java Collection API "List" Interface (using AbstractList), that
would be a good replacement for "navigateable" result sets.

> 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
>
> Attachments: lucene-1290.patch, lucene-1290.patch
>
>
> 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.
