             Summary: DisjunctionMaxScorer Initializes scoreMax to Zero 
Preventing From Using Negative Scores
                 Key: LUCENE-7486
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-7486
             Project: Lucene - Core
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: core/search
    Affects Versions: 5.5.2
            Reporter: Ivan Provalov


We are using a log of probability for scoring, which gives us negative scores.  

DisjunctionMaxScorer initializes scoreMax in the score(...) function to zero 
preventing us from using negative scores.  Is there a reason it couldn't be 
initialized to something like this:

float scoreMax = Float.MAX_VALUE * -1;
