             Summary: Patch for making some variable names more consistent with the other parts of the code.
                 Key: LUCENE-9019
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-9019
             Project: Lucene - Core
          Issue Type: Improvement
            Reporter: Yusuke Shinyama
             Fix For: trunk


Hello, we're developing an automated system that detects inconsistent variable names in a large software project. Our system checks if each variable name is consistent with other variables in the project in its usage pattern, and proposes correct candidates if inconsistency is detected. This is a part of academic research that we hope to publish soon, but as a part of the evaluation, we applied our systems to your projects and got a few interesting results. We carefully reviewed our system output and manually created a patch to correct a few variable
names. We would be delighted if this patch is found to be useful. If you have a question or suggestion regarding this patch, we'd happily answer. Thank you.

P.S. our patch is purely for readability purposes and does not change any functionality. A couple of issues that we've noticed were left untouched. For example, mixed use of variable names "len" and "length" were fairly widespread, but we have only corrected a few notable
instances to minimize our impact.
