refactoring of Similarity.sloppyFreq() and Similarity.scorePayload
------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: LUCENE-3299
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-3299
Project: Lucene - Java
Issue Type: Task
Components: core/query/scoring
Reporter: Robert Muir
Fix For: 4.0
Attachments: LUCENE-3299.patch
Currently these are top-level, but they only affect the SloppyDocScorer.
So it makes more sense to put these into the SloppyDocScorer api, this gives
you additional flexibility
(e.g. combining payloads with CSF or whatever the hell you want to do), and is
cleaner.
Furthermore, there are the following confusing existing issues:
* scorePayload should take bytesref
* PayloadTermScorer passes a *null* byte[] array to the sim if there are no
payloads. I don't think it should do this, and its inconsistent with
PayloadNearQuery, which does not do this. Its an undocumented conditional you
need to have in the scoring algorithm which we should remove.
* there is an unused constant for scorepayload (NO_DOC_ID_PROVIDED), which is a
documented, but never used anywhere. I think we should remove this conditional
too, because its not possible to have a payload without a docid, and we
shouldn't be passing fake document ids (-1) to our scoring APIs anyway.
