Paul Elschot commented on LUCENE-7277:
--------------------------------------
The rationale is that this code is common to some subclasses of Query, see also
the patch at LUCENE-6372.
There is nothing specific in this code for the Query class, any abstract class
without attributes might have these definitions.
Is there a way to enforce overriding a non abstract method in a subclass?
Aside: somehow this reminds me of the TermQuery constructors, see LUCENE-6821
and LUCENE-4483.
It's probably better to be on the safe side here too, and make these methods
abstract.
Otherwise we could add a remark in the javadocs of these methods that these
methods should normally be overridden and called via super.
A reminder in the javadocs of IndexSearcher would also help.

> Custom subclasses of the Query class have the default implementation of
> hashCode/equals that make all instances of the subclass equal. If somebody
> doesn't know this it can be pretty tricky to debug with IndexSearcher's query
> cache on.
> Is there any rationale for declaring it this way instead of making those

> {code}
> public int hashCode() {
> return getClass().hashCode();

> public boolean equals(Object obj) {
> if (obj == null)
> return false;
> return getClass() == obj.getClass();
> }
> {code}
