Mark Miller commented on LUCENE-1439:
-------------------------------------
Patch coming?
I'd classify as improvement rather than bug to start. Also, keep in mind that
everything will have to be backward compatible (though that gets fuzzier as we
approach version 3)
> Inconsistent API
> -----------------
>
> Key: LUCENE-1439
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-1439
> Project: Lucene - Java
> Issue Type: Bug
> Affects Versions: 3.0
> Environment: any
> Reporter: Ivan.S
>
> The API of Lucene is totally inconsistent:
> 1)
> There are a lot of containers which don't implement an interface which
> indicates this fact
> (for pre-java-1.5 Lucene it could be Collection, for post-ajva-1.5 Lucene it
> could be more general Iterable)
> Example:
> IndexSearcher: "int maxDoc()" and "doc(int i)"
> 2)
> There are a lot of classes having non-final public accessible fields.
> 3)
> Some methods which return values are named something() others are named
> getSomething()
> Best one is: Fieldable:
> without get: String stringValue(), Reader readerValue(), byte[]
> binaryValue(), ...
> with get: byte[] getBinaryValue(), int getBinaryLength(), ...
