Doron Cohen commented on LUCENE-1900:
-------------------------------------
{quote}
what is expert in Searchable is not necessarily expert in IndexReader - moving
to that level already has more advanced implications
{quote}
I agree (even though IndexReader is not marked 'expert').
{quote}
I think that argues for just leaving as is (the current patch).

> Confusing Javadoc in Searchable.java
> ------------------------------------
>
> Key: LUCENE-1900
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-1900
> Project: Lucene - Java
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Search
> Affects Versions: 2.9
> Reporter: Nadav Har'El
> Assignee: Mark Miller
> Priority: Trivial
> Fix For: 2.9

> Attachments: LUCENE-1900.patch

> In Searchable.java, the javadoc for maxdoc() is:
> /** Expert: Returns one greater than the largest possible document number.
> * Called by search code to compute term weights.
> * @see org.apache.lucene.index.IndexReader#maxDoc()
> The qualification "expert" and the statement "called by search code to
> compute term weights" is a bit confusing, It implies that maxdoc() somehow
> computes weights, which is obviously not true (what it does is explained in
> the other sentence). Maybe it is used as one factor of the weight, but do we
> really need to mention this here?
