Robert Muir commented on LUCENE-4856:
-------------------------------------

* Maybe the method could be protected so if someone doesnt like whatever we 
default to, they can subclass. 
* What will it do if the document doesnt have the field(s)? Return null?
* What score does the passage get?
* If we change the default, some docs need changing: e.g. "If no highlights 
were found for a document, its value is <code>null</code>"
* In the main loop, this if check could then go? Or maybe this is the place to 
do this instead?
{code}
      if (passages.length > 0) {
        // otherwise a null snippet
        highlights.put(doc, formatter.format(passages, content));
      }
{code}

                
> If no Passages are found for a doc, PostingsHighlighter should return first n 
> sentences?
