------------------------------------
Summary: UnifiedHighlighter: simplify "maxPassages" input API
Key: LUCENE-7844
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-7844
Project: Lucene - Core
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: modules/highlighter
Reporter: David Smiley
Priority: Minor
Fix For: master (7.0)
The "maxPassages" input to the UnifiedHighlighter can be provided as an array
to some of the public methods on UnifiedHighlighter. When it's provided as an
array, the index in the array is for the field in a parallel array. I think
this is awkward and furthermore it's inconsistent with the way this highlighter
customizes things on a by field basis. Instead, the parameter can be a simple
int default (not an array), and then there can be a protected method like
{{getMaxPassageCount(String field}} that returns an Integer which, when
non-null, replaces the default value for this field.
Aside from API simplicity and consistency, this will also remove some annoying
parallel array sorting going on.
