> Lucene uses Vector, Hashtable and Enumeration when it doesn't need to. Changing to ArrayList
and HashMap may provide better performance.
> There are a few places Vector shows up in the API. IMHO, List should have been used for
parameters and return values.
> There are a few distinct usages of these classes:
> # internal but with ArrayList or HashMap would do as well. These can simply be replaced.
> # internal and synchronization is required. Either leave as is or use a collections synchronization
wrapper.
> # As a parameter to a method where List or Map would do as well. For contrib, just replace.
For core, deprecate current and add new method signature.
> # Generated by JavaCC. (All *.jj files.) Nothing to be done here.
> # As a base class. Not sure what to do here. (Only applies to SegmentInfos extends Vector,
but it is not used in a safe manner in all places. Perhaps, implements List would be better.)
> # As a return value from a package protected method, but synchronization is not used.
Change return type.
> # As a return value to a final method. Change to List or Map.
> In using a Vector the following iteration pattern is frequently used.
> for (int i = 0; i < v.size(); i++) {
> Object o = v.elementAt(i);
> }
> This is an indication that synchronization is unimportant. The list could change during
iteration.
