Missing BufferedChecksum

[theolivenbaum]

Hi @NightOwl888 , just noticed the latest preview version marked the BufferedChecksum class internal with this commit 6e88977

As we were using it in our code, just to understand, is this functionality something we should re-implement on our side, or will it eventually be exposed again by Lucene.Net?

The issue here is described in #255. The issue is that IChecksum was ported over from Java when .NET already has an abstraction for this purpose, namely, HashAlgorithm.

An attempt was made to make the conversion using Crc32.NET, an implementation of HashAlgorithm that implements CRC32. Some of the tests pass, but the CheckIndex functionality is no longer functional with this draft implementation.

Since this wasn't considered to be a primary interface and we didn't expect any users to utilize it, it has been made internal until a HashAlgorithm-derived implementation of CRC32 can be properly implemented and tested. Issue #255 is up for grabs if you would like to proceed with it to make a public implementation again.

Closing as duplicate of #255 (which was added to JIRA prior to this issue).
