Wrap messages output with a check of InfoStream != null
-------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: LUCENE-1480
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-1480
             Project: Lucene - Java
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Index
            Reporter: Shai Erera
            Priority: Minor
             Fix For: 2.4.1


I've found several places in the code where messages are output w/o first 
checking if infoStream != null. The result is that in most of the time, 
unnecessary strings are created but never output (because infoStream is not 
set). We should follow Java's logging best practices, where a log message is 
always output in the following format:
if (logger.isLoggable(leve)) {
    logger.log(level, msg);
}

Log messages are usually created w/o paying too much attention to performance 
(such as string concatenation using '+' instead of StringBuffer). Therefore, at 
runtime it is important to avoid creating those messages, if they will be 
discarded eventually.

I will add a method to IndexWriter messagesEnabled() and then use it wherever a 
call to iw.message() is made.

Patch will follow
