Use BoostAttribute in in TokenFilters to denote Terms that QueryParser should 
give lower boosts

                 Key: LUCENE-3130
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-3130
             Project: Lucene - Java
          Issue Type: Improvement
            Reporter: Hoss Man


A recent thread asked if there was anyway to use QueryTime synonyms such that 
matches on the original term specified by the user would score higher then 
matches on the synonym.  It occurred to me later that a float Attribute could 
be set by the SynonymFilter in such situations, and QueryParser could use that 
float as a boost in the resulting Query.  IThis would be fairly straightforward 
for the simple "synonyms => BooleamQuery" case, but we'd have to decide how to 
handle the case of synonyms with multiple terms that produce MTPQ, possibly 
just punt for now)

Likewise, there may be other TokenFilters that "inject" artificial tokens at 
query time where it also might make sense to have a reduced "boost" factor...

* SynonymFilter
* CommonGramsFilter
* WordDelimiterFilter
* etc...

In all of these cases, the amount of the "boost" could me configured, and for 
back compact could default to "1.0" (or null to not set a boost at all)

Furthermore: if we add a new BoostAttrToPayloadAttrFilter that just copied the 
boost attribute into the payload attribute, these same filters could give 
"penalizing" payloads to terms when used at index time) could give "penalizing" 
payloads to terms.
