Marvin Humphrey commented on LUCENE-1900:
-----------------------------------------
IMO, maxDoc(), docFreq(), and docFreqs() are all expert, because they all
require an understanding of the deletions mechanism to grasp their behavior.
I'd vote for adding the "expert" tag to IndexReader.maxDoc() before stripping
it from those.
> Confusing Javadoc in Searchable.java

> Key: LUCENE-1900
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-1900
> Project: Lucene - Java
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Search
> Affects Versions: 2.9
> Reporter: Nadav Har'El
> Assignee: Mark Miller
> Priority: Trivial
> Fix For: 2.9

> Attachments: LUCENE-1900.patch

> In Searchable.java, the javadoc for maxdoc() is:
> /** Expert: Returns one greater than the largest possible document number.
> * Called by search code to compute term weights.
> * @see org.apache.lucene.index.IndexReader#maxDoc()
> The qualification "expert" and the statement "called by search code to
> compute term weights" is a bit confusing, It implies that maxdoc() somehow
> computes weights, which is obviously not true (what it does is explained in
> the other sentence). Maybe it is used as one factor of the weight, but do we
> really need to mention this here?
