Please, don't ignore me =).
We don't - but there's only so much ou can do in 24 hrs/day, and Nutch
developers have their own lives to attend to ... ;)
=) Sorry, I didn't mean to sound "demanding". It's that there's a
natural focus in real features and I thought that "tidyness" patches get
unnoticed.
I'm trying to use Lucene queries with Nutch and this patch will help.
This patch also removes a deprecated API usage, removes useless
object creation and array copying.
I believe the conversion from Document to HitDetails was separated
this way on purpose. Please note that front-end Nutch API has no
dependencies on Lucene classes. If we applied your patch, all of a
sudden HitDetails would become dependent on Lucene, causing front-end
applications to become dependent on Lucene, too.
We can certainly fix the use of deprecated API as you suggested. As
for the rest of the patch, in my opinion it should not be applied.
Oh, I see... a pitty. It looked cleaner too me, and I'll have to
copy+paste that into my code. What about the other patch? (Retrofit Hits
to implement List)
