> I would like to factor out of all IW configuration parameters into a single
> configuration class, which I propose to name IndexWriterConfiguration (or
> IndexWriterConfig). I want to store there almost everything besides the
> Directory, and to reduce all the ctors down to one: IndexWriter(Directory,
> IndexWriterConfiguration). What I was thinking of storing there are the
> following parameters:
> * All of ctors parameters, except for Directory.
> * The different setters where it makes sense. For example I still think
> infoStream should be set on IW directly.
> I'm thinking that IWC should expose everything in a setter/getter methods,
> and defaults to whatever IW defaults today. Except for Analyzer which will
> need to be defined in the ctor of IWC and won't have a setter.
> I am not sure why MaxFieldLength is required in all IW ctors, yet IW declares
> a DEFAULT (which is an int and not MaxFieldLength). Do we still think that
> 10000 should be the default? Why not default to UNLIMITED and otherwise let
> the application decide what LIMITED means for it? I would like to make MFL
> optional on IWC and default to something, and I hope that default will be
> UNLIMITED. We can document that on IWC, so that if anyone chooses to move to
> the new API, he should be aware of that ...
> I plan to deprecate all the ctors and getters/setters and replace them by:
> * One ctor as described above
> * getIndexWriterConfiguration, or simply getConfig, which can then be queried
> for the setting of interest.
> * About the setters, I think maybe we can just introduce a setConfig method
> which will override everything that is overridable today, except for
> Analyzer. So someone could do iw.getConfig().setSomething();
> iw.setConfig(newConfig);
> ** The setters on IWC can return an IWC to allow chaining set calls ... so
> the above will turn into
> iw.setConfig(iw.getConfig().setSomething1().setSomething2());
> BTW, this is needed for Parallel Indexing (see LUCENE-1879), but I think it
> will greatly simplify IW's API.
> I'll start to work on a patch.
