Uwe Schindler commented on LUCENE-2784:
---------------------------------------

bq. We need tests for this, and to decide how to handle it: e.g. return 
emptytermsenum or whatever is my first idea.

For IR.terms() what should be called in MTQ.getTermsEnum(IR) - not MultiFields, 
null is a vlaid return value. Mike and you decided that. MTQ's internal 
handling can also live with null enum. I will look further into it and post 
modified patch!

> Currently, FilteredTermsEnum has two ctors:
> * FilteredTermsEnum(IndexReader reader, String field)
> * FilteredTermsEnum(TermsEnum tenum)
> But most of our concrete implementations (e.g. TermsRangeEnum) use the 
> IndexReader+field ctor
> In my opinion we should remove this ctor, and switch over all 
> FilteredTermsEnum implementations to just take a TermsEnum.
> Advantages:
> * This simplifies FilteredTermsEnum and its subclasses, where they are more 
> decorator-like (perhaps in the future we could compose them)
> * Removes silly checks such as if (tenum == null) in every next()
> * Allows for consumers to pass in enumerators however they want: e.g. its 
> their responsibility if they want to use MultiFields or not, it shouldnt be 
> buried in FilteredTermsEnum.
> I created a quick patch (all core+contrib+solr tests pass), but i think this 
> opens up more possibilities for refactoring improvements that haven't yet 
> been done in the patch: we should explore these too.
