Michael McCandless updated LUCENE-2548:
---------------------------------------

    Attachment: LUCENE-2548.patch

Initial patch.

Tests are passing, at least a few iterations (I'll beast it).  There are still a few nocommits...

I used PMD and findbugs to find == and != on strings, but surprisingly there are cases that these tools seem to miss.  I also did various greps to try to find cases... but I'm sure I've missed some!

> In previous versions of Lucene, interning of fields was important to minimize string comparison cost when iterating TermEnums, to detect changes in field name. As we separated field names from terms in flex, no query compares field names anymore, so the whole performance problematic interning can be removed. I will start with doing this, but we need to carefully review some places e.g. in preflex codec.
> Maybe before this issue we should remove the Term class completely. :-) Robert?
