Uwe Schindler commented on LUCENE-2064:
---------------------------------------
bq. I agree with the exception, but which reader are you talking about.
You are right, there is no IR available when instantiating (Smart)FakeReader.
So catching the NPE is the only way, or implement all methods of IR to return
something valid / use an empty static final unmodifiable MemoryIndex as
delegate of the FakeReader.
> Highlighter should support all MultiTermQuery subclasses without casts

> Key: LUCENE-2064
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-2064
> Project: Lucene - Java
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: contrib/highlighter
> Affects Versions: 2.9.1
> Reporter: Simon Willnauer
> Assignee: Simon Willnauer
> Fix For: 3.0

> Attachments: LUCENE-2064.txt

>
> In order to support MultiTermQuery subclasses the Highlighter component
> applies instanceof checks for concrete classes from the lucene core. This
> prevents classes like RegexQuery in contrib from being supported. Introducing
> dependencies on other contribs is not feasible just for being supported by
> the highlighter.
> While the instanceof checks and subsequent casts might hopefully go somehow
> away in the future but for supporting more multterm queries I have a
> alternative approach using a fake IndexReader that uses a RewriteMethod to
> force the MTQ to pass the field name to the given reader without doing any
> real work. It is easier to explain once you see the patch - I will upload
> shortly.
