Otis Gospodnetic commented on LUCENE-1290:
------------------------------------------

I'm actually feeling -1-ish about this.  I don't think Hits are hurting those 
who are truly concerned about performance.  Those who want performance have 
other API options.  But Hits is so nice and simple, and that must be valuable 
to a large portion of Lucene users (think CD searches, site searches, desktop 
search apps, etc., not massive distributed searches and such).

Why can't we let Hits live?  If we are concerned about its performance, we can 
easily javadoc and Wiki that.

>
> The Hits class has several drawbacks as pointed out in LUCENE-954.
> The other search APIs that use TopDocCollector and TopDocs should be used 
> instead.
> This patch:
> - deprecates org/apache/lucene/search/Hits, Hit, and HitIterator, as well as
>   the Searcher.search( * ) methods which return a Hits Object.
> - removes all references to Hits from the core and uses TopDocs and ScoreDoc
>   instead
> - Changes the demo SearchFiles: adds the two modes 'paging search' and 
> 'streaming search',
>   each of which demonstrating a different way of using the search APIs. The 
> former
>   uses TopDocs and a TopDocCollector, the latter a custom HitCollector 
> implementation.
> - Updates the online tutorial that descibes the demo.
> All tests pass.
