Add next() and skipTo() variants to DocIdSetIterator that return the current 
doc, instead of boolean

                 Key: LUCENE-1614
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-1614
             Project: Lucene - Java
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Search
            Reporter: Shai Erera
             Fix For: 2.9


See 
http://www.nabble.com/Another-possible-optimization---now-in-DocIdSetIterator-p23223319.html
 for the full discussion. The basic idea is to add variants to those two 
methods that return the current doc they are at, to save successive calls to 
doc(). If there are no more docs, return -1. A summary of what was discussed so 
far:
# Deprecate those two methods.
# Add nextDoc() and skipToDoc(int) that return doc, with default impl in DISI 
(calls next() and skipTo() respectively, and will be changed to abstract in 
3.0).
#* I actually would like to propose an alternative to the names: advance() and 
advance(int) - the first advances by one, the second advances to target.
# Wherever these are used, do something like '(doc = advance()) >= 0' instead 
of comparing to -1 for improved performance.

I will post a patch shortly
