Hi - I wanted to check if folks would be okay with removing the "final" modifier from 4 methods (i.e. computeNorm,computeWeight, exactSimScorer and sloppySimScorer) in Lucene's TFIDFSimilarity class. It doesn't look like allowing to override these methods would have any negative implications on the function of this class. Yet it'd enable us tune the tf-idf scoring provided by this class to better serve our needs.
I've logged a Jira issue for this: LUCENE-6023 <https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-6023>. If folks don't have any objection, I've a patch ready and can upload it. Thanks, Hamid
