Doug commented on LUCENENET-8:
------------------------------
This project has always followed the ideal of being a direct port of Java
Lucene, and while the project is in its infancy, I think it would be better to
stay that way.
By nature of the project, anyone interested in the issues is free to apply
patches to their own installations. And this is definitely the place to discuss
those issues, but as for changing the direction of the core project, I think
thats better left to when there are many more active members contributing.
Perhaps then it will be time for a branch to be maintained by enthusiastic
volunteers prepared to invest the time in creating releases more independent of
the Java project, one that follows .Net best practices and conventions.
For now I think the project needs to maintain course. IMO of course!

> Key: LUCENENET-8
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENENET-8
> Project: Lucene.Net
> Issue Type: Task
> Environment: Windows XP, Visual Studio 2003
> Reporter: Jo Inge Arnes
> Assigned To: George Aroush
> Attachments: test.patch
>
>
> At the end of the FastCharStream.Refill() method, it says:
> int charsRead = input.Read(buffer, newPosition, buffer.Length - newPosition);
> if (charsRead <= 0)
> throw new System.IO.IOException("read past eof");
> else
> bufferLength += charsRead;
> When I run Lucene in the debugger, this causes an exception to be thrown all
> the time.
> To me it looks like it is thrown as a result of a normal situation, not
> because of some critical error.
> Is this correct?
> If this is the case, then the code is horrible. Throwing an exception in .NET
> is extremely slow, and should never be thrown as a result of a normal
> situation. I repeat: "extremely slow"
