their roles

                 Key: LUCENE-3173
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-3173
             Project: Lucene - Java
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: core/search
    Affects Versions: flexscoring branch
            Reporter: David Mark Nemeskey
            Assignee: David Mark Nemeskey
            Priority: Trivial


In an IRC discussion with Robert Muir, it has come up that the names of certain 
classes and methods in the search package do not describe the role of the class 
or method in question. Therefore, we propose the following name changes:
- Scorer to Matcher
- Similarity.computeWeight() to Similarity.computeStats()
- Similarity.DocScorer to Similarity.Scorer*

(*) Under consideration.

The reason for the name computeStats() is that this method will be used by the 
new Similarity subclasses to compute all the statistics they need, not just idf.
