Change visibility of getComparator method in SortField from protected to public
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: LUCENE-1661
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-1661
Project: Lucene - Java
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Search
Affects Versions: 2.9
Reporter: Martijn van Groningen
Priority: Minor
Attachments: SortField.patch
Hi,
Currently I'm using SortField for the creation of FieldComparators, but I ran
into an issue.
I cannot invoke SortField.getComparator(...) directly from my code, which
forces me to use a workaround. (subclass SortField and override the
getComparator method with visiblity public)
I'm proposing to make this method public. Currently I do not see any problems
changing the visibility to public, I do not know if there are any (and the
reason why this method is currently protected)
I think that this is a cleaner solution then the workaround I used and also
other developers can benefit from it. I will also attach a patch to this issue
based on the code in the trunk (26th of May). place).
Please let me know your thoughts about this.
Cheers,
Martijn
