> 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
> Priority: Minor
>
> 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(), ...
