Add toString() or getName() method to IndexReader
-------------------------------------------------

                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-1923
             Project: Lucene - Java
          Issue Type: Wish
          Components: Index
            Reporter: Tim Smith


It would be very useful for debugging if IndexReader either had a getName() 
method, or a toString() implementation that would get a string identification 
for the reader.

for SegmentReader, this would return the same as getSegmentName()
for Directory readers, this would return the "generation id"?
for MultiReader, this could return something like "multi(sub reader name, sub 
reader name, sub reader name, ...)

right now, i have to check instanceof for SegmentReader, then call 
getSegmentName(), and for all other IndexReader types, i would have to do 
something like get the IndexCommit and get the generation off it (and this may 
throw UnsupportedOperationException, at which point i have would have to 
recursively walk sub readers and try again)

I could work up a patch if others like this idea
