public class Hit
extends Hit

The Hit class represents a document returned as a result of a query. Because there is no need to retrieve metadata of a document when the hit is not judged as a hit by the hit list generated (a document may be a hit, but the ResultList may not allow it in, either because it is full, or the similarity is too low), a strategy of metadata on request is implemented.
