Greetings all, I currently have a FieldExistsFilter which returns all documents that contain a particular field. I'm in the process of converting my custom filters to be DocIdSet based rather than BitSet based. This filter, however, requires the use of a TermDocs object to iterate over terms and DocIdSetIterator never provides an opportunity to close that TermDocs object.
I looked at MatchAllDocsQuery which is similar, and noticed that it never closes its TermDocs object. In SegmentTermDocs' close method isn't a no-op, however: IndexInput objects are closed. Would failure to call SegmentTermDocs.close possibly leave file handles open, or is the lack of a call to close operating on knowledge that those streams will be closed elsewhere? It seems to me that DocIdSetIterator should provide a close to allow usage of TermDocs, TermEnum, etc. in the iterator while still conforming to the APIs of those classes. Thanks, Jeremy
