Andrzej Bialecki  commented on LUCENE-2638:
-------------------------------------------

I use this class in Luke, which admittedly is not a common use case ;) I guess 
you could use it also to obtain a list of common words that are good candidates 
for shingling in the future (the "common grams" method).

Anyway, as it is now the API is simply inconsistent - public methods return 
instances of a package-private class - so either we close the API completely, 
or we take this small additional step to open it for other creative uses.

Actually, I'm inclined to make this a static inner class instead of a separate 
class, to avoid polluting the package with classes that are not tools.

> It's not possible to use public methods in contrib/misc/... /HighFreqTerms 
> from outside the package because the return type has package visibility. I 
> propose to move TermStats class to a separate file and make it public.
