Hi, why does virtually every method (exaggerating) throw an IOE? I know there might be a failure in the underlying IO (corrupt files, passing checked exc up, etc) but
1. Almost none of the has a JavaDoc on it 2. Throwing an IOE from most of the methods doesn't really help. You cannot create separate catch blocks. You have to rip your code apart in tens of try catch blocks. Here is a simple example: Both IndexSearcher#search and IndexSearcher#doc throw an IOE with any further documentation. I don't have the chance to detect where the exception has happened nor I can pass something reasonable back to the user. And both methods are keypoints in Lucene. E.g., there are exceptions thrown in IndexSearcher without any message. Simply empty stubs. Lucene 4.0 received a complete API overhaul. Why was no action taken to clean up exception management?
