Of course - I meant check up front if checkAbort != null, and then always
call work() if it's not null. But I also agree that a dummy impl is the
better approach, since it's not a common case that checkAbort == null.

If there are no deletions, it's just a null pointer check, right?

Well ... one null pointer check here, one null pointer check there and at
some point you will see a difference. My point wasn't the null pointer check
itself, but the pointer check for *every* document in mergeFields() and
*every* document in mergeVectors(). So regardless if there are deletions or
not, we do a pointer check (actually a boolean check), and for every
document. For a very large segment, I believe it will amount to something.

Overall I don't think it will improve the performance significantly
(although fixing this in many places can have a certain affect on
performance), but it will clean up the code, and these *redundant* checks
won't stand out (after all, during the iteration the reader won't suddenly
have or not have deletions ...).

So should I open an issue?
