Da Huang commented on LUCENE-4396: ---------------------------------- These suggestions are very helpful. Thank you.:) Adding up a "mustClauseCountMatches" counter would be low-efficient, as it can not make use of list skippings. How about implementing getScorer returning null for BulkScorer, while returning the scorer for DefaultBulkScorer. I'm not very sure whether passing List<BulkScorer> instead of List<Scorer> is really necessary. So I think this issue should probably be just set aside for now. > BooleanScorer should sometimes be used for MUST clauses > ------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: LUCENE-4396 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-4396 > Project: Lucene - Core > Issue Type: Improvement > Reporter: Michael McCandless > Attachments: LUCENE-4396.patch > > > Today we only use BooleanScorer if the query consists of SHOULD and MUST_NOT. > If there is one or more MUST clauses we always use BooleanScorer2. > But I suspect that unless the MUST clauses have very low hit count compared > to the other clauses, that BooleanScorer would perform better than > BooleanScorer2.
