Hello,

First of all,I am not sure what the policy according resolving/indication 
flaws/bugs in Jackrabbit is? Is creating a JIRA issue the way to go or mailing 
the dev list like I do now?

Anyway, there is a flaw in MatchAllScorer.calculateDocFilter(). When you have 
just two nodes, with different properties, like "myprop" and "myprop2", and you 
have an xpath String xpath = "//[EMAIL PROTECTED], you get both nodes back (to 
be precise, you'll get every node that has a property that startswith "myprop")


You can reproduce it by changing the SimpleQueryTest.testIsNotNull() a little:

Change 

bar.setProperty("text", "the quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog."); 

to

bar.setProperty("mytextwhichstartswithmytext", "the quick brown fox jumps over 
the lazy dog.");

Now the test with xpath = "//[EMAIL PROTECTED]:primaryType='nt:unstructured' 
and @mytext]"; fails because 2 results. I did test for the trunk and tag 1.3.1 
and both have the same problem. I have attached MatchAllScorer.java.patch in 
this mail, or should I create a JIRA issue for this? 

Furthermore I would like to discuss a different implementation for the 
MatchAllScorer, because IMHO the current calculateDocFilter() becomes slow 
pretty fast (see bottom email the code part i am referring to: if you have 
100.000 docs with "mytext" property, and you query  [EMAIL PROTECTED] the loop 
below is executed at least 100.000 times). I think it might be out of scope for 
the user-list, or is the user-list the place to discuss something like this? 

Regards Ard
