Mark Miller commented on LUCENE-1906:
-------------------------------------
I say we go with it - 'instance of' will have no practical effect from what I
can tell with any micro benches. That, plus what I've read has me not too
worried.
My vote is to go with with you have. We might as well wait till the morning at
this point no matter what really - and that will give anyone else an
opportunity to chime in.
> Problem with CharStream and Tokenizers with custom reset(Reader) method

> When reviewing the new CharStream code added to Tokenizers, I found a
> serious problem with backwards compatibility and other Tokenizers, that do
> not override reset(CharStream).
> The problem is, that e.g. CharTokenizer only overrides reset(Reader):
> {code}
> public void reset(Reader input) throws IOException {
> super.reset(input);
> bufferIndex = 0;
> offset = 0;
> dataLen = 0;
> }
> {code}
> If you reset such a Tokenizer with another CharStream (not a Reader), this
> method will never be called and breaking the whole Tokenizer.
> As CharStream extends Reader, I propose to remove this reset(CharStream
> method) and simply do an instanceof check to detect if the supplied Reader
> is no CharStream and wrap it. We could also remove the extra ctor (because
> most Tokenizers have no support for passing CharStreams). If the ctor also
> checks with instanceof and warps as needed the code is backwards compatible
> and we do not need to add additional ctors in subclasses.
> As this instanceof check is always done in CharReader.get() why not remove
> ctor(CharStream) and reset(CharStream) completely?
> Any thoughts?
> I would like to fix this somehow before RC4, I'm, sorry :(
