             Summary: Rename or move most of MultiFields
                 Key: LUCENE-7875
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-7875
             Project: Lucene - Core
          Issue Type: Improvement
            Reporter: David Smiley


MultiFields.java has a bunch of static methods that provide a single 
LeafReader's view over a bunch of things.

These could perhaps go to ReaderUtil:
* {{Bits getLiveDocs(IndexReader reader)}}
* {{FieldInfos getMergedFieldInfos(IndexReader reader)}} (removing "Merged" in 
its name which seems inconsistent, or replace with "Multi")

These could perhaps go to MultiTerms:
* {{Collection<String> getIndexedFields(IndexReader reader)}}
* {{Terms getTerms(IndexReader r, String field)}}
* {{PostingsEnum getTermDocsEnum(IndexReader r, String field, BytesRef term)}}

Finally, the MultiFields instance itself, implementing {{Fields}} along with 
the static utility method {{Fields getFields(IndexReader reader)}} could 
perhaps remain until we can finally remove it (or move to a test classpath or 
something) when there is no more purpose for Fields.java.
