Michael McCandless commented on LUCENE-4906:
--------------------------------------------
I think the challenge here is that these are not just "advanced" uses;
they are super expert uses, and I don't feel like that justifies the
added cost of generics for normal users.
There are definitely times when generics make sense but I don't think
this case applies ...
I agree the Object approach is rather old fashioned ... but it should
still work for these super expert cases. So, it's not ideal, but it's
a step forward at least (progress not perfection) ... I'd like to
commit the Object approach so we move forward.
If future use cases emerge that makes the generics use-case more
common we can always re-visit this (this API is experimental; we are
free to change it), so none of this is set in stone ...

> For example, in a server, I may want to render the highlight result to
> JsonObject to send back to the front-end. Today since we render to string, I
> have to render to JSON string and then re-parse to JsonObject, which is
> inefficient...
> Or, if (Rob's idea:) we make a query that's like MoreLikeThis but it pulls
> terms from snippets instead, so you get proximity-influenced salient/expanded
> terms, then perhaps that renders to just an array of tokens or fragments or
> something from each snippet.
