Doron Cohen commented on LUCENE-3573:
-------------------------------------

I agree about keeping the same notions as IR. 

bq. returns null (no changes, or the taxonomy wasn't recreated) 

In fact I was thinking of a different "contract".

So we have two approaches here for the returned value:

* Option A:
## *new TR* - if the taxonomy was recreated.
## *null* - if the taxonomy was either not modified or just grew.

* Option B:
## *new TR* - if the taxonomy was modified (either recreated or just grew)
## *null* - if the taxonomy was not modified.

Option A is simpler to implement, but I think it has two drawbacks:
* it is confusingly different from that of IR
* the fact that the TR was refreshed is hidden from the caller.

Option B is a bit more involved to implement:
* would need to copy arrays' data from old TR to new one in case the taxonomy 
only grew

I started to implement option B but now rethinking this...

bq. Was there any reason to add it to TestTaxonomyCombined?

Good point, should probably move this to TestDirectoryTaxonomyReader.

> 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
