Shai Erera commented on LUCENE-3573:
------------------------------------
+1. I think that we should nuke refresh() and adopt the IR approach, even
though I don't like the 'maybe' and 'if', might as well make the API
consistent. So instead of refresh() we'll have a static TR.openIfChanged that
either returns null (no changes, or the taxonomy wasn't recreated) or a new
instance in case it was recreated.
Note that unlike IndexReader, if the taxonomy index wasn't recreated,
openIfChanged will modify the internal state of TR. That's ok since the
taxonomy index was built for it: existing TR instances (that weren't refreshed)
won't be affected as they won't know about the new categories (and taxonomy
index doesn't support deletes) and the caller can use the same TR instance in
that case.
Whatever we end up doing, we should remove refresh(). Even though we're not
committed to back-compat yet (it's all experimental), I think it is dangerous
if we'll simply modify refresh() behavior, because users may not be aware of
the change. So a new method is a must.
Besides that, the test looks good. Was there any reason to add it to
TestTaxonomyCombined?

> When recreating the taxonomy index, TR's assumption that categories are only
> added does not hold anymore.
> As result, calling TR.refresh() will be incorrect at best, but usually throw
> an AIOOBE.
