Michael McCandless commented on LUCENE-7276:
--------------------------------------------
I don't think we have ever, nor should we ever, make a guarantee that
{{MatchNoDocsQuery.toString}} would somehow round-trip through a query parser
back to itself, and so I think we are free to improve it here/now.
A right not exercised is soon forgotten.
> Add an optional reason to the MatchNoDocsQuery

> It's sometimes difficult to debug a query that results in a MatchNoDocsQuery.
> The MatchNoDocsQuery is always rewritten in an empty boolean query.
> This patch adds an optional reason and implements a weight in order to keep
> track of the reason why the query did not match any document. The reason is
> printed on toString and when an explanation for noMatch is asked.
> For instance the query:
> new MatchNoDocsQuery("Field not found").toString()
> => 'MatchNoDocsQuery["field 'title' not found"]'
