Hi We wrote a Collector which chains a bunch of other Collectors. Is there such a utility in Lucene? I didn't find one ...
Collectors are one of the strong APIs, IMO, that Lucene offers and we take advantage of them in many ways. ChainingCollector allows ... well, chaining ... a bunch of Collector, w/o them needing to know or care about each other, and Lucene's API behaves well as well with it, since it is a Collector on its own. So if there isn't such a utility in Lucene, I thought it'd be a great addition (as I'm sure we're not the only ones that do it). What do you think? It's nothing too fancy or sophisticated, but more of a convenience class. Shai
