Inconsistent API
-----------------
Key: LUCENE-1439
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-1439
Project: Lucene - Java
Issue Type: Bug
Affects Versions: 3.0
Environment: any
Reporter: Ivan.S
The API of Lucene is totally inconsistent:
1)
There are a lot of containers which don't implement an interface which
indicates this fact
(for pre-java-1.5 Lucene it could be Collection, for post-ajva-1.5 Lucene it
could be more general Iterable)
Example:
IndexSearcher: "int maxDoc()" and "doc(int i)"
2)
There are a lot of classes having non-final public accessible fields.
3)
Some methods which return values are named something() others are named
getSomething()
Best one is: Fieldable:
without get: String stringValue(), Reader readerValue(), byte[] binaryValue(),
...
with get: byte[] getBinaryValue(), int getBinaryLength(), ...
