NutchQuery adding non required Terms

[Stefan Groschupf]

Hi,
I would love to build a nutch Query object via API and not using the  
Queryparser.
In my case I need the complete set of boolean operators in the query,  
so required (AND) and non required (OR)  terms and prohibited (NOT).
I notice that in general this would be possible to add a clause in  
the Query object, since the BasicQuery filter just copies the  
parameter isRequired and isProhibited.
However the Clauses arraylist is private and there is not method in  
the nutch query object that allows to add custom terms or clauses  
with isRequired and isProhibited.

Did I miss something in general to be able to support non required  
terms in nutch?
Would people agree to add a little method that allows to adding terms  
with these parameters?


Thanks for any comments.
Stefan
