Mark Miller commented on LUCENE-1837:
-------------------------------------

It won't revert the whole issue. Weight still an abstract class, the sub reader 
with the doc still the reader passed rather than top level reader.

The only revert:

Because TermWeight tried to take index level stats from the reader, we passed 
that searcher (to make the TermWeight explain behavior like it was when we 
passed top level reader) - its the only place its used currently. But thats 
illegal now and it was illegal before.

You cannot count on having access to the entire index through a Searcher - else 
we break MultiSearcher and remote use.

So passing that Searcher is a recipe for illegal abuse. Same with the other 
issue Tim brought up - though if we end up passing an IndexSearcher there with 
all kinds of warnings to abuse at your own peril - I guess we could here.

I'm not sure I like it because we encourage code that doesn't work correctly 
with MultiSearcher. I think if we wan't to go down that road, we should 
probably try to move away from support remote and multisearcher.

> Remove Searcher from explain and idf/maxDoc info from explain

> these changes (starting with the TermWeight idf/maxDoc info) were illegal IMO 
> - I think they need to be rolled back/out.
