Shai Erera commented on LUCENE-4906:
------------------------------------
I am not sure we should complicate the API? Performance-wise this casting will
have marginal effects (if at all), considering it's done, usually, for the
top-N documents only for which you compute highlighting...
Generics, while sometimes are great, some other times actually limit the API.
It doesn't feel like PostHighlighter is a good place for generics.
> PostingsHighlighter's PassageFormatter should allow for rendering to
> arbitrary objects

> For example, in a server, I may want to render the highlight result to
> JsonObject to send back to the front-end. Today since we render to string, I
> have to render to JSON string and then re-parse to JsonObject, which is
> inefficient...
> Or, if (Rob's idea:) we make a query that's like MoreLikeThis but it pulls
> terms from snippets instead, so you get proximity-influenced salient/expanded
> terms, then perhaps that renders to just an array of tokens or fragments or
> something from each snippet.
