TopDocCollector.topDocs throws ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException when called twice
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: LUCENE-942
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-942
             Project: Lucene - Java
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Search
    Affects Versions: 2.2
            Reporter: Aaron Isotton
            Priority: Minor


Here's the implementation of TopDocCollector.topDocs():

  public TopDocs topDocs() {
    ScoreDoc[] scoreDocs = new ScoreDoc[hq.size()];
    for (int i = hq.size()-1; i >= 0; i--)      // put docs in array
      scoreDocs[i] = (ScoreDoc)hq.pop();
      
    float maxScore = (totalHits==0)
      ? Float.NEGATIVE_INFINITY
      : scoreDocs[0].score;
    
    return new TopDocs(totalHits, scoreDocs, maxScore);
  }

When you call topDocs(), hq gets emptied. Thus the second time you call it 
scoreDocs.length will be 0 and scoreDocs[0] will throw an 
ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException.

I don't know whether this 'call only once' semantics is intended behavior or 
not; if not, it should be fixed, if yes it should be documented.

Thanks a lot for an absolutely fantastic product,
Aaron
