Christian Kohlschütter commented on LUCENE-1290:
------------------------------------------------
-1 from me for the current solution.
Deprecating Hits necessarily means deprecating HitIterator. With
Hits/HitIterator we have two really simple ways to iterate over a long list of
search results. The TopDocs/HitCollector-based approach is basically one level
below Hits, and thus, Hits can clearly be regarded a convenience class then. It
is not as flexible as HitCollector, but serves its purpose very well.
What could make sense is to deprecate the Searcher#search() methods which
return a Hits instance, to reduce API clutter. Hits could have a public
constructor that takes a Searcher instance instead.

> Project: Lucene - Java
> Issue Type: Task
> Components: Search

> Assignee: Michael Busch

>
> 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.
