Reorganization of collections: use inner classes to associate related objects
See original GitHub issueCurrently, we have FooCollection
and FooDocument
, like ClueWeb09Collection
and ClueWeb09Document
. Since they are a tightly-bound semantic unit, one could reorganize as inner classes. So:
ClueWeb09
would be the name of the collection (implicitly)ClueWeb09.Document
would be the name of the document from that class.
Same with all the other collections. Then we can reorganize all these bundles in io.anserini.collection.lib
; the interface definitions go in io.anserini.collection
.
This would also make Javadocs a lot cleaner.
The only major downside I can see is that our source code files will be much longer… but given that one navigates with an IDE these days, it’s not that big a deal…?
Thoughts @Peilin-Yang?
